Backdrop CMS
Backdrop is a viable, supported, open source alternative to Drupal 7. As a fork of Drupal, it combines much of the traditional power and flexibility of Drupal with a focus on end user experience and affordability and especially for D7 sites that don’t need a redesign.


Backdrop is a good option for your Drupal 7 site if you are:
- Largely satisfied with your website as-is (although may be considering improvements).
- Not well-positioned for or interested in a full redesign and rebuild within the next 3–5 years.
- Investing significant time and energy in workflows and training staff or learning to administer the site.
How can Aten help?
Our developers have strong Backdrop expertise and we worked with Stanford University to successfully upgrade two of their sites to Backdrop from Drupal 7. Want to discuss if a move to Backdrop is right for your site?
