Backdrop CMS fits hand-in-glove with our philosophy of flexible empowerment and lasting value. Our clients don't typically have the budget or the energy level to constantly be thinking about the next major rebuild. However, most web systems and agencies are moving along at an unsustainable pace, trying to cram in all the shiny objects, whether you need them or not. 

In this context, Backdrop CMS is unique in its commitment to both long-term value (backwards compatibility) as well as modern concerns (user-friendliness, updated functionality, and accessibility).

This allows a website to function as more of a long-term investment. The flexibility of the system and the ability to customize the structure of a Backdrop site and build the workflow around your needs gives you a solid base to build and iterate on. Rather than a complete rebuild every few years, you have the opportunity to cultivate and grow the site as your needs shift or new initiatives take shape. You are able to keep what's working, add what's new, and prune everything as needed along the way.

Another benefit of using a system that has a saner pace of development and a smaller stack of dependencies is that it is less likely to be compromised by a supply chain attack like those that are constantly in the news these days. 

Backdrop has a track record that is over 10 years long. Laryn has been a core committer for the Backdrop project since 2021, and maintains many key modules that are available for use. This means your site will be based on a solid foundation and built according to best practices. 

If you have need of an integrated CRM, Backdrop integrates tightly with CiviCRM.
