What do you like best about Craft CMS?

Our team has found Craft to be a huge asset when building larger scale custom sites. There are very few restrictions for our developers and limitless options when building out a fully editable CMS where our clients can eventually adapt, change and setup limitless pages within a working system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Craft CMS?

Craft is a great solution to provide flexibility, but that flexibility makes it very easy for clients to mess up a site once the CMS has been handed over. There are a lot of pieces to manage but it has been better than most of the other CMS options we have tried. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The ability to adapt pages and create a larger system that doesn't feel too "theme-y" when creating custom sites is a clear benefit. Our programmers are better able to control the end look of pages and match the creative team's designs. Craft allows for highly editable pages and design with modules that can easily be reordered on a page which alyas seems to be a key benefit to clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Craft CMS?

It's easy to navigate around. Searching on domain makes it quick to see if a company is a member. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Craft CMS?

The hesitation you get sometimes when it's searching for the domain / company name / user. It can be annoying because it doesn't look like anything is matching. You go to start a new search and as you are hitting the enter, your last search starts to appear. Doesn't happen often, but when it does it just wastes time to have to go back and enter it again.
