Building a website without coding skills was nearly unimaginable at the start of the 21st century, especially if you wanted to do more than establish a basic collection of HTML pages. However, things changed rapidly with the introduction of <\/span>CMS platforms<\/b>, which transformed how websites were created and managed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Drupal <\/b>was introduced in 2001 by <\/span>Dries Buytaert<\/b>, a Belgian programmer. Not long later, web developer <\/span>Matt Mullenweg<\/b> developed <\/span>WordPress<\/b>, and by 2005, a team of engineers had launched<\/span> Joomla<\/b>.
