Acquia Content Management System (Acquia CMS) provides low- or no-code websites powered by Drupal, and following Acquia best practices developed through working with thousands of customers using Drupal. Using Acquia CMS, you can install Drupal and build a reasonably customized and functional website without writing a single line of Drupal code. This allows site builders to create customizable websites at scale.
Acquia CMS comes bundled with a demonstration website which will provide an ‘out-of-the-box’ experience showing the power of Drupal and the Acquia DXP.
Acquia customers may experience a slow time to value and a high total cost of ownership when building and operating Drupal applications. Our customers must employ skilled Drupal engineers to assemble Drupal applications largely from scratch, investing heavily in up-front builds to combine Drupal Core, contributed modules, and Acquia Products with custom backend code, frontend code, and configuration.
Acquia customers currently must choose from over 45,000 modules when they want to start building a website using Drupal. This requires extensive knowledge of the Drupal domain and platform builds. In addition, they must also invest considerable time and money to ensure their Drupal website works with Acquia products.
Acquia CMS will provide our customers with an out-of-the-box platform that delivers a tested, fully functional and updatable platform saving 80% of set up costs and 90% of update costs for a typical Drupal website.
Acquia CMS is a Drupal 9 distribution consisting of several pre-configured, contributed and custom modules, which enable you to create a website without writing code.
