Concrete CMS is versatile and user-friendly, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of web development needs.
Many CMS platforms (content management systems) are built by developers for developers. Building and maintaining a website with these systems can be complex and intimidating for someone without programming knowledge. While editing content may seem manageable, making even basic changes to the content often involves working with long web forms in the back-end. Adding new features typically requires technical knowledge and experience. Imagine needing to call a consultant every time you want to write a new Word document. How useful would such a program really be?
On the other hand, there are many solutions targeting the DIY (do-it-yourself) segment of the market. These tools are great for quickly creating small websites. However, the same assumptions and limitations that make it easy to start and finish a site quickly can later become obstacles, as they prevent the site from scaling or adapting to evolving needs.
With Concrete CMS, you get the best of both worlds. Anyone can launch their website in seconds, and the editing experience is straightforward—just click on what you want to change and make the adjustment. At the same time, developers have access to a flexible framework for building complex web applications. With Concrete CMS, you’ll have a website that can easily be updated and adapted as your needs change over the years.
The design of the website is fully customized to the client’s specifications.
