Customizable, scalable content management system

What are the best aspects of this product?

This tool helps in producing almost any application you need because of its ease of use and scalability, thus you don’t need to dwell on making basic-looking webpages. Codes are easy to understand and read on Concrete5 as well. Therefore, it keeps you away from the common problem of getting confused amid long strings of codes. It also has cool CMS features such as calendar, as well as lets you have full control over user accounts, role assignments and authorization. Moreover, you can select from plenty of available plugins to use with the CMS; although, most of them demand enough technical knowledge to integrate.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

Concrete5 is only suitable for big custom application and website projects. It is difficult to learn, and it pushes you to prepare too many boilerplate templates for each project you start with. It has a smaller number of available themes and templates as well, especially when you compare it to options such as WordPress. These make Concrete5 a bad choice for small and quick website creation.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

Concrete5 offers us a “What You See Is What You Get” interface for clients to view interactively. That is while we work on their website, so we can provide the best outputs that fit their needs and preferences.
