What do you like best about Butter CMS?

ButterCMS has a very easy set up and a good documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

Would be good to have an ability to POST Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Easy access to information from a client's side. Instead of using CMS that require PHP, this one was very convenient for use in React. I wish it had an ability to send information back (POST, PUT etc), but I guess Butter CMS is still growing. Good luck with your service! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Butter CMS?

Butter was extremely easy to set up and integrate into my existing rails app. Once I installed the gem and got it configured (a 10 minute process), the blog just appeared at mysite.com/blog.

Once I started using it, I was also happy to see that it was intuitive and easy to write and publish/unpublish posts as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

The interface for writing the posts in-browser has some room for improvement, but since I started using Butter ~6 months ago I have already seen improvements on this front. I occasionally find that the format-bar pops up at inopportune moments and gets in the way.

The ability to position and move images is limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Butter CMS:

If you have questions, reach out to them. The founder is very responsive and willing to help! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I needed to add a blog to my rails app and did not require something nearly as robust as a full wordpress blog. Butter made it easy (and affordable) to set it up and maintain it with minimal effort, allowing me to focus on developing my own app and writing blog posts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Butter CMS?

Easy to install for the engineers and easy to use for the marketing team. Once the gem was installed, I was able to start transferring old blog posts to this new CMS. The pages looked way better since the css matched the site and page views have increased more than 5 fold. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

More friendly UI for typing posts and configuring the page. Commonly used templates would be awesome. While these are nice to haves, the team has been very responsive with requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our old blog was buried on the bottom of our site and linked to Tumblr. Needless to say, we weren't getting the traffic we were looking for and didn't show up in search for key terms around our business. We installed the Butter gem and within a few days saw immediate results as more page views started to roll in.

As we continued to add posts, we suggested features to the Butter team and were pleasantly surprised when they responded quickly with product updates integrating our requests.

Now that blogging is easier with this gem, we have produced more content, increased page views, and converted more leads to sales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Butter CMS?

Whenever I need a blog, I reach for Butter. It has the 80% of functionality that people want, and the other 20% is coming along nicely - they are quite responsive to feature requests. For example, I asked them to add code formatting and it happened within a month. You can build the CMS into your application visually so, from a front-end perspective, there is no differentiation possible between your content and your app.

No-brainer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

If they could provide a better visual blog editor, that would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Butter CMS:

Go for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

An in-app blog. It 100% satisfies that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We're solving for SEO optimization and a quick and seamless formatting process with our blog content. Butter has been great for both! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once we got things set up, which is relatively easy, you can publish posts through a GUI directly to your domain without having to make a pull request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- The UI is relatively simple, but could use polish in places. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
