Overall Satisfaction with Concrete5
We use this on a variety of website projects, both internally originated and for clients. It's easy to launch a new site through our hosting platform and keep it up to date, and the compact marketplace for add-ons and themes weeds out so much of the noise you would find on bigger marketplaces.
- Great UI for users to create content
- No need to deal with the maintenance structure, but when you do it is well designed
- Doesn't most everything you need from the base install
- The user forum needs a shake up. Can be hard to get activity on a thread
- Some more complex features aren't being developed by the community and need to be
- Needs more support to overcome the preference for the 800 pound gorilla in the sector
- Low/no cost to implement
- Affordable add ons and not too many needed
- Most features baked in, no need to navigate a wild marketplace for products of uncertain quality, running up big expenses on add-ons
- Run under the radar of the WP ecosystem of consultants and leeches
Easier to set up and manage. Easier to edit content. Not as feature-rich so it might not work for very special projects. Harder to get client buy-in when they only know Word Press. Great for quick projects, and for the right client more complex engagements. Free of complex corporate entanglements.
