Who's Using BigTree?

BigTree CMS powers sites ranging from large scale universities with hundreds of users and hundreds of thousands of visitors every month, to smaller non-profit and cultural institutions. BigTree CMS also does the heavy lifting behind major associations' sites and individual custom microsite solutions. Museums and retail businesses have also powered their online marketing initiatives with BigTree. Whatever your CMS needs might be, we are confident BigTree is the best solution you will find.

Dickinson College Virtual Tour

When Dickinson College wanted a robust and unique virtual tour to attract prospective students, BigTree CMS was the platform used to power that experience.

BigTree's custom setup allows Dickinson staff to quickly and easily add new sections to the tour, upload and crop images, embed video content and manage the flow of the navigation.

Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine - Perdana University

Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine needed a site up and running in record time, to support a new initiative it was launching in Malaysia - Pugsom University.  BigTree CMS was the perfect CMS solution, not only allowing for lightning fast implementation, but allowing the entire team to easily make updates, changes, add sections, you name it - with about an hours worth of training.



Bay State College

Bay State College is using BigTree CMS to empower a small team to be nimble and focused with their content. The site contains a myriad of custom features that enable Bay State to connect with a diverse prospective student pool, in ways that are compelling and effective.

When I met with Tracey and her team, I knew immediately I had selected the right firm. They were thoughtful, knew exactly what questions to ask, and understood our college better than any outside vendor I’ve ever worked with. Our site needed a major facelift. Fastspot took the time to deliver a site that not only looks amazing but also has a CMS to make even the novice Web administrator look good.

The University of Puget Sound

The University of Puget Sound was dissatisfied with their previous enterprise-level CMS. They moved over to BigTree when they realized that "powerful" didn't have to mean "hard to use".

BigTree's design is not only user friendly, but easy on the eyes. Visually, it's a very pleasant experience to work in it. A much better experience than, say, wrestling with an Excel spreadsheet. If someone calls and asks me to make an update to a page, I can usually make it and have it posted to the live site before they even have time to say, “Thank you!”

BigTree works seamlessly with our other applications. I use the same sign in and password to access BigTree as I do my other accounts. It looks and works just the same at home as it does at work, so it’s a breeze to work wherever life finds me.

Russell & Mackenna

Russell & Mackenna, a high-end furniture designer, needed a custom online experience and a powerful e-commerce solution. BigTree CMS was implemented to allow for site content management along with inventory management. The furniture customizer module empowered Russell & Mackenna to let their online customers create custom pieces of furniture by selecting the features and color options they wanted, and then purchase those unique customized pieces online.

In 40 years of business experience I have never seen a market/sales launch take off with as much acceleration as we experienced when we launched our new website. I am certain that this experience was not only a function of the outstanding quality of the site itself, but also of the focus, deliberateness, and even hand holding you all displayed at the appropriate time.

Ziger/Snead Architects

BigTree CMS powers this innovative and elegant Website solution for the acclaimed architecture firm Ziger/Snead.

I am the one here who uses BigTree the most, but it’s so straight forward that anyone here is able to update our Website, if needed. Having used a variety of custom as well as out of the box CMSs, I was hesitant to have our Website use a proprietary system. However, I am very impressed by the logic and simplicity of BigTree and the advantages of quick and easy customization during the development process. The clean and consistent design of the graphic interface supports the intuitive nature of the system's functionality—you can do what you think you should be able to do, like drag-and-drop a project to change the order of priority or expand a text box for easier editing. Having the ability to update our Website with only a few clicks and no knowledge of Web coding is essential to maintaining a dynamic and engaging source of content that impresses first time visitors and gives them a reason to come back.

Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust

Managing the Museum's Website content is a breeze for the LAMH team, who were up and running after an hour-long phone training session. BigTree's intuitive user interface ensures the Museum can take advantage of its large volunteer staff and empower everyone to keep the Website content fresh and up-to-date.

International Dairy Foods Association

The IDFA migrated thousands of pages out of an older outdated system into BigTree CMS, and now manages both its public and member's only data effortlessly via BigTree. Even non technical staff are able to quickly and easily make changes, update the site, and even manage e-commerce transactions for publications. BigTree has been successfully powering the IDFA's sites for the past 3 years.

American Beverage Association

The American Beverage Association uses BigTree CMS to not only power their primary association Website, but also to support several mini-sites, a members only site and their annual trade show's site. BigTree allows the ABA to share relevant data between sites from a master CMS and dive into secondary administrative areas as necessary for more specialized content management.

Unlimited users and a browser-based administrative area ensure the busy staff and PR team can quickly and easily keep content up-to-date from any location with an internet connection. It's also a snap to give people temporary access when necessary, which is particularly useful during times when critical news is being released, or any kind of crisis management is occurring.

Lauren and I just trained the team on BigTree CMS and the blog; it is SO easy to use and we are very happy with it.

Neustadt Creative Marketing

BigTree empowers this creative team to keep their content engaging, current and relevant.

The core of BigTree is that it provides a means for staff without technical training to upload text and images. This enables you to build a culture of participation around the Web. Your content strategist doesn’t need to be a techie. A small organization can tap the potential in a great Website. I can’t say enough in praise of BigTree as a communications tool.
