"Great for digital editors!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Silverstripe CMS?

Very easy to use and intuitive. Making edits to the website is a breeze and it's very interactive with the website's functionalities. I like that I can log into the website, find the page and then simply click edit in CMS to make changes to that page. Can also be paired with sister sites and it easily and accurately connects related content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Silverstripe CMS?

Some functions, such as incorporating photos, require multiple steps that could better pared down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Silverstripe CMS:

Test it out, the user interface is certainly easy to adjust to, but make sure any web page content, including its SEO traffic history can be carried over from the previous CMS. Once we switched, Google considered it a new website and we lost all our SEO history. We had to rebuild our traffic numbers from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Silverstripe CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Enables customization but without the complexity and overcrowding of functions and menus. It is very easy to use with a simple interface that speeds up content development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
