America's Best Bootfitters

Providing comprehensive ski boot reviews, world class training and the shops that can execute it all.

The America's Best Bootfitters website has a rich archive of relational content: boots that have styles, and categories, shops that sell specific brands and specific boots in certain locations, and different types of boot testers with their own preferences and comments about each boot. The dynamic relational nature of this content is one of the things Backdrop CMS does best.

Why was Backdrop chosen for this project?

Boot-test results come in quickly, and need to be easily entered by people new to the system every year.
The America's Best Bootfitters website needs to house and display this complex and inter-related content gracefully.
The previous ABB website was built in Drupal 6, and the team was looking forward to applying their existing knowledge of Drupal architecture to an updated system with an improved user interface.

Our Backdrop site has 4 times the content, content types, views, and other complexities, yet runs circles around this WordPress site. I have a complete respect for how simple Backdrop is in comparison, and how much more powerful, and fast.
--- Brian Frias, Webmaster, America's Best Bootfitters

The reason I used Backdrop on another simple 3 page site is the editor/user interface. It is superior to the stock backend of WP. Even if the site is completely underutilizing the power of the platform, the user experience alone is a compelling reason to consider this platform versus others.
