The Museum of Arts and Design website had been running on Drupal 7 for 13 years. With the EOL of D7 coming up we were looking for a solution that would be relatively painless and allow to move forward with all of our content.
Our web developer was able to move the database and port the museum's custom theme in about 20 hours with no prior experience with Backdrop.
Why was Backdrop chosen for this project?
Backdrop was chosen for this project for the perceived time investment, improvements on Drupal 7, and cost.
