Some Exceptional Drupal and Wordpress Sites September 18, 2007
In my article last week on Wordpress vs Drupal, I gave some examples of sites built using those tools. Frankly, most of the examples I gave were sites we’d worked on. I figured I’d loop back and give examples of some exceptional sites I’ve come across (and didn’t work on) using each toolset. The goal is to show just how far you can push things using Drupal and Wordpress.
Drupal
A full on newspaper website built using Drupal.
This is just a very elegant implementation of a community blog using Drupal.
Presidential campaign website built using Drupal.
Wordpress
Wall Street Journal website for Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher. This may actually be Wordpress Mu.
(2) Truemors
Digg-style social site built using Wordpress and, one presumes, a variety of Wordpress plugins.
(3) Avalonstar
This version of Avalonstar is actually no longer there. New version is nice, but I thought the old version was a great example of a site designed using Wordpress that looked nothing like a traditional blog. Old screenshot is here.
If you have some good examples please leave them in the comments.

Most of those Drupal sites you mentioned were built by Advomatic. Do you work for them?
Thomas - I have no idea who designed any of these sites. I also work at a firm called The Bivings Group, whose official company blog you are reading.
Great post Todd.
Here’s what I had to say:
