Their in-depth articles are among the top resources for the world’s favorite shows, producers, showrunners, and more.

In addition to being a top Drupal site, ew.com is also ranked by Alexa as the 902nd most popular website globally over the last three months.

9. Tesla

Tesla is one of the world’s most talked-about companies, known for making waves in the markets for automobiles and clean energy. You’ve probably heard about their fleet of self-driving, electric cars or the Tesla Wall: a giant battery providing homes with storage options for clean energy.

Their site is neat, clean, and highly effective at showcasing their products. We’re big fans of their homepage in particular, and we recommend you check it out. It’s exactly what a future tech company’s website should look like!

8. NCAA

College sports in the United States is big business. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is a non-profit association which regulates athletic competitions for 1,281 institutions, hosts conferences, and manages related organizations across the United States.

In 2014, the NCAA generated nearly a billion dollars in revenue—80 to 90% of which was thanks to the Men’s Division I Basketball Tournament.

Their website is a functional mix of sports journalism and sales. Not only do they post schedules, analysis, and video coverage, but they also market their team merchandise hosted on the secondary site, shopncaasports.com.

7. Mint

Mint.com is a free web-based personal financial management service that caters to over 16,000 US and Canadian financial institutions and self-reports having 10 million users. Mint’s primary service allows users to track bank, credit card, investment, and loan transactions and balances them all through a single user interface –as well as create personal budgets and goals.

In 2009, it was acquired by Intuit, the makers of Quicken and TurboTax. Judging by the look and feel of their site, that merger came with a bump in digital marketing expertise; Mint.com is simple, clean, and makes user acquisition easy.

6. The Australian Government

Australia leans on Drupal to power their website: a sprawling information resource for citizens, visitors, and entrepreneurs. The site hosts over 3,000 distinct pages covering topics from healthcare and culture to career opportunities and travel suggestions. The website even goes the extra mile by linking to local news and social media channels.

Australia.gov.au is a great example of Drupal government websites able to organize and present information. The site is designed like an inverted funnel, with the homepage offering a selection of categories that branch into more specific topics the deeper you dive.

5. Le Figaro

Founded in 1826, Le Figaro is the oldest national newspaper in France. It is the second-largest national newspaper in France after Le Parisien and before Le Monde and is part of Le Figaro Group, whose publications include TV Magazine and Evene.

The site delivers a variety of features that naturally belong on the website of a leading periodical. Page load speed is stellar despite being packed with feeds, media, and a live video pop-up on the bottom corner of the screen.

4. The Emmy Awards

The Emmy Awards are a group of American awards dedicated to recognizing the best of U.S. television –from its actors and directors to its engineers and humanitarian impact. Their website covers featurettes on notable happenings and personalities surrounding television around the world (though naturally centered on America), as well as event schedules and videos of events and commentary.

Their site is dense in terms of content but smooth in presentation –just what you might expect from a showbiz powerhouse like the Television Academy.

While there are many options to choose from regarding themes for your website’s content, here’s our list of recommended Drupal themes that enable an effective and engaging digital experience.

It’s headquartered in the Philippines, and has news bureaus in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East, making it the largest and the most comprehensive news outlet when it comes to local and international newsgathering in the island nation.

Their website is powered by Drupal, which allows them to deliver news in real-time, connect across various social media platforms, and encourage community discussion through a login system for news readers to set up profiles and engage in discussions.

1. NASA

NASA is the American government’s flagship agency for its civilian space program, aeronautics research, and aerospace research.
