Backdrop CMS is a content management system that originated from a group of developers who sought to create a more accessible and user-friendly alternative to Drupal, particularly for smaller organizations and non-profits. Established in 2015 and based in the Netherlands, the company emphasizes affordability and backwards compatibility in its offerings. Backdrop CMS is designed to manage clean, structured data, featuring capabilities such as content types, taxonomy, and granular roles and permissions. It also supports configuration management and includes an integrated WYSIWYG editor, with options for both CKEditor and TinyMCE. The platform aims to simplify website development and maintenance, making it suitable for users who may find modern Drupal's complexity overwhelming. Community engagement is evident through regular meetings and discussions, with resources available for users to connect and share insights. The company operates within the custom software and IT services sector, focusing on providing solutions that cater to the needs of mission-driven organizations.
