About

Backdrop is an open-source Content Management System (CMS) built for simplicity and flexibility, and it’s especially suited for smaller teams and nonprofits. It’s a fork of Drupal 7, meaning it feels familiar to people who have used Drupal but aims to be lighter and easier to maintain.

When used with CiviCRM, Backdrop provides deep integration: when someone signs up as a user on your site, a corresponding contact is created in CiviCRM; you can set up permissions and roles to control who has access to CiviCRM features; and you can use Backdrop’s layout and “Views” tools to pull CiviCRM data (like lists of donors, events, or members) into website pages.
