Drupal – Your Flexible Enterprise CMS
Drupal is an open-source content management system (CMS) at enterprise level. Based on Drupal, our team conceptualises, designs and operates complex individual solutions with a high level of detail: From a new corporate website to an innovative multi-site architecture to an optimised solution for e-commerce. The flexible Drupal architecture enables us to integrate a multitude of interfaces and surrounding systems and is perfectly suited to modern headless architectures.
Who is Drupal For?
Drupal is suitable for individuals and small companies, as well as for large enterprises, educational institutions or government authorities. At Unic, we use Drupal for company websites, multi-sites and e-commerce solutions. Our customers include companies in the tourism and healthcare sectors, manufacturers and other B2C and B2B organisations.
How is Drupal Structured?
Drupal consists of a central element (Drupal Core) that provides the most important functions, plus modules (Contrib or Community module) with additional functions. There are about 50,000 modules providing various functions for websites. In addition, you can choose from 2,500 themes to tailor the design of the website and backend. We also develop custom modules to cover additional customer-specific adjustments if required.
What’s the Great Thing About Drupal?
User-friendly: Editorial teams can easily create, maintain and manage content. Drupal also provides an ideal foundation for implementing the requirements of the Accessibility Reinforcement Act (BFSG), which will be in force in Germany from mid-2025.
Fast: Many systems require a lot of time-consuming work at the beginning of a project. Drupal allows you to get started quickly and continue developing the web solution as you go along. The short time-to-market and easy customisation really pay off. Especially when you need to be agile in order to quickly provide end users with added value or validate hypotheses in marketing.
Flexible : The open API-first architecture makes it much easier to implement complex requirements. You can integrate third-party systems such as CRM systems, personalisation frameworks or payment providers.
Secure: Role and authorisation systems, plus configurable workflows, help you set up customised publication processes. Drupal security is handled by a security advisory board.
Innovative: Drupal core is released with new functions every six months. This increases security, and continuous work by the community means that functionality is being added continually; existing projects benefit automatically from the updates.
Widely supported: Drupal is one of the most successful open source projects worldwide, with a huge range of applications. The functionality is continually being developed and extended. And Unic experts are right there at the forefront.
Good value: Drupal is open source, so there are no licensing costs. Drupal’s twice-yearly feature release model allows us to provide new functionality regularly, even in Drupal Core. So upgrade and maintenance costs remain manageable.
SEO-friendly: Drupal has high standards for SEO and other digital marketing requirements. Search-engine-friendly mark-up, detailed control of meta tags and countless options for API integrations make Drupal a powerful element of your digital experience platform.

Drupal Headless – Flexible and Powerful
Since 2015, Drupal has taken an API-first approach. Combining many years of expansion and decoupled options, Drupal provides an ideal foundation for a wide range of web projects.
A Headless Architecture Has Many Benefits:
The focus on interfaces allows you to integrate third-party systems and use data from Drupal efficiently.
The separation of backend and frontend enables you to continue developing the website, multi-sites or shops very flexibly.
You can adjust and customise information depending on the specific target group and channel.
By ensuring all the components interact as efficiently as possible, you ensure good usability and an enjoyable browsing experience.
The coordinated technology stack and cutting-edge frontend technologies ensure rapid loading times and optimised display on all devices.
A headless architecture with Drupal provides technical flexibility and gives customers a satisfying experience on your website.
Drupal Commerce – An Outstanding Shopping Experience
Drupal Commerce is supremely well integrated into the current version of Drupal. Linking content and commerce creates an optimised shopping experience that customers will love – while you enjoy increased revenue.
Benefits of Drupal Commerce
It enables you to implement shop functionality and product management in the Drupal CMS.
It is highly configurable, allowing you to implement market requirements and meet your company’s needs.
It includes versatile modules that impress even the most demanding customers.
Its flexibility allows integration with third-party systems.
Editorial Work with Drupal
The entry interfaces for editorial staff have a design that can be adjusted to match the frontend. This means writers can see on the input screen how the final piece of content will look. Dynamic layouts and the preview function allow them to check changes before publication. Flexible workflows enable them to create high-quality content.
Our experts play an active role in keeping the user interface up to date. This proximity to the product means that our customers benefit from the latest improvements. We support editorial and marketing staff in your company, helping you get the best out of your system.
Benefits for Editorial and Marketing Departments:
Simpler configuration
Improved processes
Targeted content distribution
Perfect display on different devices
Simple keywording to find and reuse content, even for highly complex multi-sites in different languages
