Both WordPress and Drupal CMS platforms are the most popular on the web and have a strong support community. WP is a free, open-source, and easy to use platform. It takes only 5 minutes to install a website powered by WP and it is extremely simple to customize or add functionality. Drupal in contrast is characterised as advanced content management framework, which requires a significant coding knowledge and programming skills. For those, who know a lot about these two platforms, it might sound as extremely difficult to turn WordPress into Drupal. However, with CMS2CMS it is not like that at all.
