Creating a CMS framework is one of the best tools for building something without any preparation. It will assist the client with solid backend settings. In addition, fascinatingly, there are no principles to deal with the substance and you can save different layouts too without being worried about duplicate/glue issues. On top of the customization, information base reinforcements are synchronizing, the resource the executives tooling is incredible, the back-end supervisor is truly beautiful, and there's quite a lot more as well. You must attempt it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A CMS that's actually built from a developer's mindset"
5/5
What do you like best about Craft CMS?

The idea the everything from the ground up is a customizable data structure. You don't have to fit into a pre-build mold like Wordpress where things are either a "Page" or a "Post." That's not how most sites are - usually there are complex data structures that the user needs to customize, and Craft gives you that control. On top of the customization, database backups are a synch, the asset management tooling is phenomenal, the back-end editor is really pretty, and there's so much more too. You gotta try it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Craft CMS?

The only thing that I would dislike is that it's not 100% free. I think it's a great CMS, and I get why it's not free. But if it were, you could get a lot more buy-in from business-minded folk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Craft CMS Makes It Easy to Build User-friendly Websites"
4/5
What do you like best about Craft CMS?

Craft CMS is an intuitive content management system that allows you to design custom page layouts using content fields and blocks that directly reference your website's code templates. The best thing about Craft CMS is the customizability with which the content management system allows you to build specific layouts for different sections (organized into either "channels" or "structures") of your website. Another benefit is the versioning of pages and other "entries" in your website, as well as live preview editing, which allows users to see their changes take effect on the website in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Craft CMS?

One of the bigger drawbacks to Craft CMS is the significant learning curve it can take some users to overcome in order to properly use the content management system. Fortunately, there are several plug-ins available that you can add to the content management system that can streamline user training, such as by building a "user guide" as a "Help" structure.

"Craft CMS Allows Us To Dream Big"
5/5
What do you like best about Craft CMS?

The best part of Craft CMS is that it has no assumptions about the website you are attempting to build. You spend time building the site you want, not trying to convert a CMS to be something different with dozens of plugins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Craft CMS?

Currently, deployments of updates can be a little complicated with Composer and utilizing the Craft CMS project config files. But, this is constantly improving and I imagine within another year, many issues we run up against will go away. They are constantly improving things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Text formatting is challenging—always running into snafus with styling. New page formats were challenging to build (required dev work) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy replacement for WordPress"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Craft CMS?

The back end is user-friendly and once you get a good-looking website it is extremely easy to keep it up to date. We are not web designers, but we don't want to have to pay our web designer each and every time we have an update. The few problems we have had (see below) were relatively easy to fix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Craft CMS?

Recently we were hacked, and we had a fake landing page for a scam website added to our page randomly. That was not fun. For a platform that bills itself as a more secure alternative to WordPress, that was disheartening. I know there's no such thing as a hacker-proof site, but still!
