If you would like access to module or theme that is not on this list, ask and we'll evaluate whether or not it makes sense to add to this package.

Both versions come with the same selection of contributed themes and modules.

Default Backdrop Template - This comes configured with the default settings and content that you would get if you downloaded and installed Backdrop directly from BackdropCMS.org. 

Simple Starter Template - For this version we have preconfigured a variety of modules and features in ways that we think will help you get started quickly. We have also added some sample content that can be edited or deleted.
