Drupal was selected as the core CMS for both QRF websites due to:
- Multilingual Support allowed the team to build a fully bilingual experience in Arabic and English, with seamless language switching and RTL (right-to-left) compatibility.
- Content Modeling & Customization empowered content managers to create structured yet flexible content types for research reports, programs, events, and blogs—each with tailored metadata, relationships, and taxonomy.
- Scalability and Performance ensured both sites could accommodate growing content needs and fluctuating traffic from local and international audiences.
- Security and Reliability made Drupal an ideal fit for a government-affiliated institution, with robust access controls, continuous security updates, and long-term community support.
- Open Source Advantage aligned with QRF’s values of sustainability, openness, and cost-effectiveness, enabling collaboration without licensing constraints.
- Drupal's powerful layout tools and headless-readiness also positioned the foundation to evolve its digital strategy over time, supporting potential integrations, personalization, and future redesigns with ease.
