"Simple to use, professional results"

What do you like best about Craft CMS?

The ease of use. There is a live preview function so you never have to make a page live until you're 100% happy with how it looks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Craft CMS?

Occasionally there's issues with being unable to do something, but I'm not an administrator of the system so it's easy to contact the administrator to make the necessary changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very easy to navigate in Craft"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Craft CMS?

It's easy to navigate around. Searching on domain makes it quick to see if a company is a member. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Craft CMS?

The hesitation you get sometimes when it's searching for the domain / company name / user. It can be annoying because it doesn't look like anything is matching. You go to start a new search and as you are hitting the enter, your last search starts to appear. Doesn't happen often, but when it does it just wastes time to have to go back and enter it again.

Craft CMS gives me access to powerful php and twig functionality in the templates without the convoluted nature of Expression Engine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Craft - Building instead of Manipulating"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Craft CMS?

Craft comes to you like a new born child. Empty and waiting for you to fill it will goodness and knowledge. You build exactly what you want and Craft lets you control exactly what the browser spits out. Craft is like taking all your legos, spilling them in a big pile, and then going to town and building whatever comes into your mind. Craft can managed what metadata you want it to, you are not locked into a preinstalled program. Craft also comes with a built in security that makes another CMS look down right sad. Put simple, craft is Building instead of Manipulating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Craft CMS?

There is a bit of a learning curve to Craft and while that is to be expected, I had to pick something to place here. The price can also be an issue, while $299 may seem cheap compared to some. I find with small businesses it becomes a issue. Craft's content table is just a bit of let down as well. There is also the The Ugly Data. After careful curation of Fields, Field Groups, and to which Entry Types they are assigned, each Field becomes a new column in this table and fill them all with NULL data.

"Craft CMS: Great Flexibility, Takes Some Heavy Lifting"
4/5
What do you like best about Craft CMS?

We worked with developers to design a website platform on Craft that we could easily manage and edit. I love that it's customized to our design and experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Craft CMS?

For minor edits and layouts working with Craft is great. When developing more complex pages or changing templates, it requires a developers help. This is something that we hopefully will be able to move past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"First time Craft CMS user"
4/5
What do you like best about Craft CMS?

Very intuitive software, easy to navigate and find different areas for editing. It's easy to select elements to add and arrange, enable or disable content. I can easily link to other entries and find them quickly. I especially like how I can organize different sections as well as rearrange documents in the asset manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Craft CMS?

I have difficulty editing text at time. I'll place my cursor on content and when I start typing it jumps to a different area. I have to remember to clear the cache when making edits to menus. Sometimes it's difficult getting the URL from an asset I uploaded such as a word doc so I can share with colleagues for other uses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Awesome CMS"
5/5
What do you like best about Craft CMS?

Flexibility, great functionality to add custom fields. Matrix field is amazing. Beautiful mark up with twig. Documentation is easy to read and there's tons of great examples. Tons of great people on the stack exchange that respond to your questions in just a couple of hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Craft CMS?

It still feels a little barebones in some ways. For example you can create a front-end entry form, yet some fields aren't supported which makes it hard to create front-end forms with custom fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
