What do you like best about Butter CMS?

The set up was super fast, which saved us time and money on a developer. It has also integrated well with our Big Commerce e-commerce back-end, which brings peace of mind we have a fully functioning e-commerce website. Once set up, as a non-technical marketer, ButterCMS is easy to use - I can tweak and update our website myself (again, saving time/$$ on developer support), and when I have gotten a bit stuck, the chat support has been super responsive and helpful. it's given me confidence that I can manage our site for our start-up effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

I've not yet found anything that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

self-sufficiency - we don't have to rely on a more web-savvy developer or contractor to help us quickly and nimbly update our site. We are a start-up, and things change fast and furious, so we need to be able to manipulate the site on our own. Also, we wanted to go headless for our e-commerce site, and the integration with Big Commerce along with it's user-friendly interface are the prime reasons we choose Butter over other CMSs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Butter CMS?

It's easy for my developer to set up, and easy for me to have all of the control I need with formatting, SEO, content, etc. I'm able to keep the look and feel of our site, all without having to deal with Wordpress or subdomains which kill SEO. We were able to grow our SEO program to over 8 million visitors in the last 5 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

More templates for our developers to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Butter CMS:

Do it! It's so easy to set up. We spent 5+ hours scouring the internet for a plugin solution that wouldn't have been half as good as this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We're providing content for those looking to travel to Cuba, particularly Americans who are looking for information and perhaps someone to plan their trip. We've realized having control over the content empowers us to tweak SEO in order to be found, and update content easily and cheaply. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Butter CMS?

ButterCMS is simple and elegant!

When I first started using Butter, I actually felt cool with it's UI and UX that's so easy to understand the gist of the whole product!

And, it took a little time to get adjusted to the schema part, but, once I got the hang of it, it felt just so cool to work with it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

Well, ButterCMS should have been able to provide an interface like Builder.io, where the Marketing team can make their UI adjustments without frequent involvement from the development team!

There was WYSIWYG in ButterCMS that one of my managers researched but nonetheless declared it wouldn't solve it better than builder!

Because Butter couldn't provide it, we have to now make the shift to Builder.io!

I really wished I could have worked longer on ButterCMS! No problem - I will use ButterCMS for any project I take on where I have the say in the architecture! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Dynamizing the content across our site's homepages was the most common use-case we have of ButterCMS!

Although I use it extensively for collections which I use to store certain data like Zendesk articles and their priorities to be dynamically assigned to the widget! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
