Technology has progressed way beyond our imagination – Just look around, right from offices to homes and from cars to space crafts, we are completely engulfed by technology.

With advancing technology; we have a number of web resources and CMS (content management system), on internet. And these CMSs in a way make it possible to have solidly build websites which open the immensely wide and huge source of knowledge with a simple click.

Among a cluster of CMSs; WordPress, Joomla and Drupal are leading competing to reach the number one position!

Well, this competition is not surprising – configured with robustly build features; it really becomes difficult to determine which of these can be called mightiest of all. However, through this blog, we will just try to take a glimpse of the some of the unique attributes.

Extensions and Plug-ins:

Since, the websites are getting more dynamic and interactive; many of them even come with multimedia integration. And hence such web pages require solid extensions and plug-ins to make it work flawlessly. If we take a look at the extensions; WordPress takes the Cake with around 21210 extensions and plug-ins in its basket.

However, Drupal and Joomla are not lagging completely behind – They are competing well with 11000+ and 9000+ extensions respectively. And looking at the stiff competition; there still more to come!

Drupal, unlike the former two, needs high level of technical expertise.

Popularity on Search Engines!

Looking at the numbers; it seems WordPress again wins the race! – According to an estimate WordPress was most searched with approximately 3700000+ searches. Since, it is widely known for creating simple, yet extremely eye-catching websites, it reins the chart of most search CMSs. Being followed by Drupal and Joomla, it again makes it to the top slot.
