Big Medium
What's Big Medium?
Big Medium is flexible, easy-to-use Content Management System for creating and editing websites directly from your browser. You don’t need to install any software and you can work on it from any computer, anywhere, at any time.
Why do we use Big Medium?
Quite simply, because we love it!
Big Medium is made for designers, not computer geeks. Unlike systems that force us to use standard designs or bland layouts, Big Medium gives us free reign and can support virtually any design. This gives us the freedom to make a great design for you and have it supported by a powerful content system behind the scenes.
We also choose Big Medium for the fantastic support that its developer, Josh Clark, provides. He has helped us deliver custom solutions for many of our clients – you don’t get that level of service from any of the ‘big’ software companies! He also provides excellent documentation that we’ve adapted for our clients.
