Craft offers a range of valuable use cases for designers and teams seeking to streamline their workflow and enhance collaboration. Users have found Craft Sync to be an efficient tool for syncing work from Sketch to Invision, simplifying the sharing of design work and facilitating seamless collaboration with stakeholders. With Craft Library, designers can quickly generate brand guidelines and share symbol libraries and sticker sheets, saving time and ensuring consistency in design projects. Additionally, Craft serves as a versatile platform for note-taking, draft document creation, and text sharing with clients and contractors. It provides an organized space to store living documents, enabling users to stay organized and access information easily. Moreover, Craft has been widely acclaimed as a preferred content management system for small businesses and organizational websites due to its flexibility, extensibility, and user-friendly interface that caters to both developers and users. Finally, Craft.io has been utilized by product-focused teams in organizing projects effectively by mapping story mapping and prioritizing features in prototypes. Overall, Craft has proven instrumental in enhancing productivity, collaboration, organization, and project management across various domains.

Sync Feature: Users have praised the seamless functionality of Craft's 'Sync' feature, which flawlessly syncs their artboards to Invision. Many reviewers appreciate that once the plugin is set up, they can forget about tinkering with settings and trust that it will work seamlessly.

Library Feature: The 'Library' feature in Craft receives positive feedback for its ability to generate style guides from design documents. With just one click, users can create succinct documents to share with teammates and other teams, making collaboration easier.

Data Feature: Multiple users express satisfaction with Craft's 'Data' feature, as it effectively approximates real data into static designs. Reviewers find it helpful for validating rough designs using actual content approximation, eliminating the need for manual data entry.

  1. Frequent crashes: Some users have reported experiencing frequent crashes with Craft, both when using the plugin for Sketch and within Sketch itself. These crashes can be disruptive to their workflow and cause frustration, leading to a loss of productivity.

  2. Limited stock options: While the 'Stock' option in Craft is convenient for quickly accessing images, some users have expressed a desire for more variety in terms of available options, services, and filters. Having a wider range of choices would enhance efficiency by allowing users to find suitable images more quickly and accurately.

  3. Manual sync in Library feature: The process of updating symbols and maintaining sync in Craft's 'Library' feature can be time-consuming as it requires manual effort from users. This aspect has been highlighted by some reviewers who feel that automating or streamlining this process would greatly improve their productivity.

We use craft in many ways, but we primarily use 'Craft Sync' as a way to sync our work from Sketch to Invision, but also as a way to share design work to other departments that might be stakeholders in the projects. It helps solve a significant gap in collaboration by instantly allowing for both sharing of life designs, as well as feedback through Invision by the other stakeholders. We also use 'Craft Library' as a way to quickly generate brand guidelines and share symbols libraries and sticker sheets.
  • 'Sync' usually works flawlessly in syncing my artboards to Invision. Once you set up the plugin, I can easily forget about tinkering with any of the settings - it just 'works'.
  • 'Library' is pretty great for generating a style guide from my design doc. Clicking one button makes magic happen, and creates a super succinct document for me to share between teammates and other teams.
  • 'Data' also works wonders when trying to approximate 'real' data into a static design. It turns the painful job of having to fill in designs with 'real-world' data a piece of cake. It helps me validate rough designs using an actual approximation of real content.
  • Craft frequently crashes - either the plugin for Sketch, or Sketch itself. Sometimes I have to turn off the plugin completely in order to be of sound mind that things won't crash. But frequent updates usually take care of any short term issues here.
  • The 'Stock' option is great to grab a quick image for a design, but I would love to see the functionality in here expand to even more options, more services, and more filters so I can get what I need even faster and more accurately.
  • 'Library' works great in its own ecosystem, but updating symbols and the like is somewhat manual and time consuming. I have to constantly ensure everything that needs to be in-sync, stays in-sync.
Craft is really well suited for any size design team - I have used it within a team of 3, and within a team of 30.

It helps with collaboration within the team, and between external teams through 'sync' with Invision.

It increases efficiency of using Sketch with things like 'data', 'duplicate', and 'stock'. These tools not only make designing faster, but also more realistic, allowing us to 'test' our designs sooner.
  • More accurate mockups for clients that take less time than without using Craft.
  • Increased collaboration within and between teams by providing more immediate insight into active design work.
  • More enjoyable experiences while designing, because the tool set opens up new work flows that do not existing natively in any design software.
Craft has a completely unique tool set that has functionality that really is not duplicated any where else in the industry. It cannot really be compared to any other tool I have had experience with, especially with the larger cloud infrastructure that Invision has built around their plugin and their platform.

Craft is our preferred CMS for small business and org websites. Craft provides superior flexibility, extensibility, and ease of use for both developers and users.
  • Design-agnostic templating system. No themes. This means you can use whatever HTML, CSS, JS you want, and integrate it with Craft.
  • Versatile field types, with 3rd party plugins providing a bunch more. Everything from plain text to address, color picker, date/time, file assets, one-to-many relationships, and more.
  • Control panel with clean, responsive UI makes content updates easy for clients.
  • Could use a more robust implementation of rich text editor.
  • Some functionality that requires plugins, for example, advanced field management, should be part of the core install.
  • It should be a bit easier to brand the control panel w/logo and color scheme.
Suitable for mid-size to large websites (20 pages+). If you have a massive project with dozens or hundreds of content contributors, complex editorial process/workflow, are tied to a non-Linux platform (Microsoft Server), you may want an enterprise CMS like Episerver. If you need a small, cheap, theme-based, basic website with 5-15 pages, you'll probably go to WordPress.
  • We don't have hard numbers on Craft's impact on our ROI, but we recognize that its feature set, ease of use, and integrated ECommerce allows offering a superior product to clients.
Craft was originally developed in response to ExpressionEngine's shortcomings. While ExpressionEngine has caught up in some regards, it still looks and feels a bit unpolished by comparison. Additionally, ExpressionEngine's vendor has never gotten UI right - not on their website, nor in their CMS. Craft remains easier to use, more polished and provides a wider feature set in its base install (without needing plugins).

As for WordPress - while I recognize its massive popularity, I find its reliance on themes, third-party plugins, along with security shortcomings, make it a poor fit for the larger custom projects we build. On the other hand, if you want to throw up a passable website in a day, you can't beat WordPress.
