The Museum of Arts and Design website had been running on Drupal 7 for 13 years. The communications team debated different strategies to handle the upcoming end of life for D7 including starting a new site, migrating to Drupal 10, and Backdrop.

Backdrop was chosen for this project because of ease, time, and cost.
