What do you like best about Contao?

No pre-defined structure, so we can build our website from the first time of use itself. No limit in creativity: we can build our website exactly as it was designed, using just HTML and CSS. Easy multi-domain managing using different root pages. Easy multi-language managing, highly customizable modules through templates. Very good tools in the core: FAQ, News, Newsletter, User Management, Comments, etc. Nice and clear back-end interface, little mess up even with third-party extensions. Very accurate and in-depth setting of back-end user interference permissions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Contao?

1. Documentation could be somewhat better. 2. It took me some time to understand the front-end and back-end user distinction. 3. Requires PHP 5.2, hard to find out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Contao:

1. Fast and easy to install, even as a local test installation I did not have any problem at all. It is clean, concentrated in Web Standard. Better learning curve than Drupal, Joomla, and WordPress. I was able to start designing a site using CSS in less time. 2. Works with the standards for code, fast, clean oriented. 3. You can adapt almost any layout to it, unlike many CMSs that produce the same boring pile of tight boxed elements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Contao solving and how is that benefiting you?

Is amazing for designers as it allows for them to add news and events and other modules that usually would have required anyone to pay a developer to write a PHP script. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
