Bertrand Kaernel#Drupal (qui est basé sur @symfony) c'est super mais ce n'est pas forcement adapté pour des petits projets. J'ai découvert cette alternative @backdropcms. C'est la même chose que Drupal mais en plus simple. Mon prochain site, je pense à le faire avec... Avis aux amateurs ! #cms #webdev #backdropcms #symfony

Doing nonprofit web design and #BackdropCMS / #Drupal / #CiviCRM development for groups from all over.
@BKaernel Backdrop CMS is pretty nice...
@ecosia Love the idea, thanks for putting it out there!

Maximizing your website’s ROI with Backdrop CMS: A powerful and affordable option
My pitch for #BackdropCMS includes the fact that it's an affordable, stable, and predictable option in uncertain times. Join me for this webinar tomorrow if you're interested in learning more:
Maximizing your website’s ROI with Backdrop CMS: A powerful and affordable option (especially for lingering Drupal 7 sites) | Aten Design Group
Aten Lunch Hour Webinar Series | Aten's Senior Backdrop Developer, Laryn Kragt Bakker will explain why Backdrop CMS is an affordable and powerful option for your organization's website, especially if it's still lingering on Drupal 7.
I'm excited to be participating in @fldrupalcamp later this month. Lots of great sessions!
I'll be leading one called "Back(drop) to the Future" to outline some of the reasons that make #Backdrop a great choice for certain types of projects.

Back(drop) to the Future
Backdrop CMS has been around for ~10 years now and has understandably made an concerted effort to emphasize certain aspects of the project that can appeal greatly to Drupal 7 site owners: backwards compatibility with existing code, an upgrade path, the affordability of the Backdrop upgrade process compared to a migration to modern Drupal, Wordpress, or something else. Those backward-looking considerations are very important for site-owners that are coming from Drupal 7. But what about looking ahead? Are there reasons why you may do well to consider Backdrop for particular projects whether or not it's coming from Drupal 7?TL;DR yes, there are.In this session, we'll review how for certain types of projects, Backdrop makes an enormous amount of sense. We'll use some real world examples, and draw feature parallels and contrasts with modern Drupal. Some of the topics we'll cover include:flexibility, structure, and power: although simpler in many ways, Backdrop still provides Drupal's traditional power and flexibility. We'll go through a quick review of some of the similarities and differences between the two, including shared post-Drupal-7 features and Backdrop-specific improvements. A short comparison of Starshot/Drupal CMS as compared to Backdrop will be covered.complex projects: complex sites can be built quickly with Backdrop. I'll talk about some of the conversation at my agency around when a project is a good fit for Backdrop vs. Drupal or Wordpress. I'll review parts of a project I worked on with Penn State University's Undergraduate Education to show one example of how reusability can work in certain contexts (configuration, layouts, etc).simplicity: smaller projects, one-offs and DIY projects can benefit from the simplicity of developing with Backdrop to quickly spin up sites. Although Backdrop works well on large projects with complex workflows, the project also has a commitment to also stay friendly for site builders and simpler projects.future of Backdrop: how does the community, leadership and infrastructure resemble or differ from that of Drupal or other open source projects? How can we have confidence that the community (and project) will last into the future? Some thoughts about the future roadmap for Backdrop CMS. When to expect and what to expect from Backdrop 2.0?lower maintenance costs: if your project doesn't rely on them, pinning your site to the relatively fast-moving libraries that modern Drupal depends on can lock you into a series of non-trivial upgrades that can eat your budget more quickly than you'd like. Backdrop's stability and commitment to backwards compatibility can be seen in this context as a sort of LTS that reduces the total cost of ownership.

New Configuration Storage Options with Backdrop CMS | Aten Design Group
Backdrop CMS's recent 1.28.0 release brought a number of new features, including the ability to choose where your configuration is stored: in the file system or in the database. Aten's Senior Developer and Core Maintainer of Backdrop explains the benefits of this new feature depending on where a site is hosted.
Nonprofit BackdropWith Drupal 7's end date approaching, a solution was needed for a collection of sites at Penn State University. Read about the process of upgrading them to Backdrop and some of the efficiencies and benefits that came with it.

Penn State University Undergraduate Education | Aten Design Group
With Drupal 7 end of life approaching and no plans for a redesign, the Penn State University Undergraduate Education team needed a solution for their lingering Drupal 7 sites. Aten chose to upgrade six of their sites to Backdrop CMS for a fraction of the cost of a move to Drupal 10.
I also led a session on the process of bringing Gin from modern Drupal to Backdrop:
