Backdrop CMS is a fork of Drupal 7 that comes with many of the new features included in Drupal 9. Backdrop releases new features every 4 months and there are currently over 675 modules for Backdrop, most of them ported from Drupal 7. Backdrop CMS is for the small to medium-sized businesses, non-profits, educational institutions, and companies or organizations who are in need of a comprehensive website for a reasonable price (our philosophy).

If you are looking for a Content Management System that is more powerful to use than Wordpress and significantly easier to use than Drupal 9, you should look closely at Backdrop CMS. Spin up a free demo site and give it a try - no account required, and our demo sites only last 24 hours. 

If you currently have a Drupal 7 site and are looking for upgrade opportunities that are easier than migrating to Drupal 9, there is a direct upgrade path from Drupal 7 to Backdrop CMS.
