Installing BigTree CMS

Before the launch of the new website we were on a Drupal platform and there was literally one person in our organization who was able to update the site. One. So this site is beautiful and well-executed and a major step for us, but I can tell you, the improvements on the back-end are as fundamental and significant as the front end. Our adoption of BigTree has dramatically improved our content creation and content curation capabilities at Mount Vernon. It’s really been a huge enabler of the content which fuels the site.

We love BigTree. Overall, it’s easier to use than Wordpress and our previous CMS, Ektron. It has more flexibility, the developer forum is robust and our programmer/designer has really enjoyed the proactive approach that BigTree offers.
