Since its inception,
Drupal has had the (rather infamous) reputation of being
the developer’s CMS. Designing a website using Drupal meant hard-coding every aspect of the appearance of your website. However, over time, and with the advent of Drupal 7, the picture has changed. Drupal too, like WordPress, now boasts of several
new and beautiful themes (
also called templates), and the number is increasing everyday (including
ports of themes from WP).
In this article, we take a look at some of the best Drupal themes that are available from the web design and development community. We hope that you will find some new and useful templates in the showcase we’ve collected.
