For many people, WordPress fits the bill nicely when looking for a content management system. Still, not everyone wants their website to look or function like a blog.
For those who want a WordPress alternative, you’ll want to look into the Big Medium content management system.
Big Medium offers several benefits over WordPress for people looking for a user-friendly, easy to install content management system (CMS) for their website:
Works with nearly any design or template
Big Medium integrates nicely in to nearly any kind of design or template. All you need to create a Big Medium-friendly template is some basic HTML and CSS knowledge or you can hire a web designer to create a design for you. Compare this to customizing a WordPress theme to fit your needs and you’ll see how Big Medium can be a true time-saver that keeps your website looking and loading good.
No Update Hassles
WordPress is extremely good at being a blogging platform. And for every update that is released, there are always a crop of bugs to come with it or new features being suggested. If you don’t want to be hassled by installing WordPress updates (or updates to the plugins that work with it), you’ll want to give Big Medium a try. It’s built to be an easy to use, streamlined content management system – without the update nag screens.
Content Management only
If you need a straightforward, simple way to manage your website content, images and links, Big Medium fits the bill nicely. You won’t find any plugins that add polls, video galleries, or any other extendable features, but Big Medium does “play nicely” with most third-party add-ons so you have the flexibility you need to get content added to your site quickly
Big Medium is worth a look if you’re looking for a WordPress alternative that works right out of the box. With its search engine friendly results, easy setup and 30 day free trial there’s no reason not to take it for a spin.

I design wordpress themes, and i am always trying to make most of my designs look different from the normal wordpress themes.
Thank you for this article.
I think what’s stopping most people from stepping away from WordPress is the fact that it’s so well supported – tested, safe and easy to use. People usually have to have pretty big reasons to feel the need to go anywhere else.
