Structured, multilingual websites with serious content modelling

Drupal is a powerful content management system for structured, multilingual websites, with a flexible content model, roles and permissions, and thousands of modules.

From £10 a month, VAT included. No server to run.

  • HTTPS and your own domain
  • Health checks and restarts
  • Security updates underneath
  • Organisation and public sector sites
  • Multilingual content
  • Complex content types
  • Editorial workflows

First steps

  1. Sign in. When the app is live, open it in the console and choose Reveal admin password; it is shown once, so save it in your password manager. Then sign in at your-name.apps.fresh.dev/user/login.
  2. Change the site name and admin email under Configuration › Basic site settings.
  3. Add SMTP details in the console.
  4. Model your content under Structure › Content types before you create much of it.
  5. Turn on the core modules you need under Extend, such as Language for multilingual sites or JSON:API for a headless front end.

Good to know

  • The site comes installed; there is no web installer or Drush.
  • Core modules can be turned on, but new modules and themes can’t be uploaded from the browser.
