20 | At this point, this ranking should be considered in a general context, and that our current conclusion is that Drupal and WordPress provide very similar features. The overall difference is that Drupal was originally architected as a framework for custom development and WordPress as a social publishing platform that could be configured by non-programmers. | ||||||||
21 | In this case, usability becomes a critical factor, and user testing indicates WordPress is simpler for end-users. | ||||||||
