Why are custom content types in Drupal important?

ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. -- Custom content types in Drupal are the heart of managing content on a Web site. But what are they?

In Drupal content types are defined as 'nodes.'

These nodes have various default settings telling Drupal how to display content, images or both. 

Why are they important?

These content types are vital to a custom Web site because developers can integrate javascript, JQuery, Flash or XHTML into the code of these content types to display properly in defined block regions.

In essence, custom content types enable a back end administrator to create, update or edit content easily without scripting code in a new Web page. This allows block regions on a Web site to be defined for blogs, individual Web pages, press releases, propery listings, product pages etc.

If used properly, businesses large or small who create useful content weekly or daily could reach higher page ranks and better search engine optimization quicker than those who do not.
