CMS almost as simple as it gets but powerful!

I tried Concrete5 over a year ago and gave up with it. A few weeks ago I tried it again, and have quite simply switched almost all of my sites over to it. I've also posted a couple of support messages, and have had quick, helpful responses within hours.

Great For Corporate Sites, but ...

for the siteops who do this 'gratis' the CMS is lacking a couple of things to make this work. They are available via expensive add-ons. Who pays for a forum add-on, anyways, when there is already a multitude of free forums out there. To be fair, the CMS is dead simple to install and to make changes. My only issue is the add-ons which should be included in the default package such as forums. There are plenty of other freebies that they have as add-on modules, to be fair.

I think concrete5 is very simple, I've tried Joomla, CMS Made Simple and some others but those were pretty confusing. I think its great!

I've tried several CMS systems such as Drupal, Joomla, Wordpress, e107, etc. I always had a problem with them where they had this confusing structure of modules and pages and page categories and page subpages, and it was like learning a whole different language. This CMS actually works like a WYSIWYG. Drag blocks around rather than using a config page, click on blocks and edit them right there instead of on a separate edit page, etc. It works so much better for visual thinkers.

Concrete5 is such a flexible framework beyond being a great CMS. You can build entire applications using the robust API and get your clients the functionality they need, without having several solutions to get there. GREAT CMS!

I highly recommend Concrete5. I have two websites built using the CMS and if you know PHP the sky is the limit.

I have used this for dozens of sites - it's powerful, quick to deploy and easy to customise. Add-ons are helpful - many free, and lots of others at very modest costs for the amount of coding and work it would take to make yourself. I love it.

I have been looking for some time for a website builder that truly allows me to construct a professional-looking site easily and without having to spend hours fiddling with file managers and obscure editing techniques. Concrete5 is the answer - really intuitive and easy to use, and the results look great. No more struggling with WordPress for me!
