Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Flexibility and Control! Craft CMS provides the flexibility to create custom digital experiences on the web. It allows developers to design and develop exactly what they need, without wrestling with pre-defined themes. Users can write and design their own HTML, create custom templates with clean code powered by Twig, and manage multiple sites or use Craft as a content API. Ease of Content Management! Craft CMS makes it incredibly easy to manage content, putting the focus on content creation and management. This is in contrast to some other CMS platforms where content management can be more challenging. Active and Supportive Community! Craft CMS has an ever-growing and extremely active community, which can be beneficial for getting support, sharing knowledge, and finding resources Quality and Security: Craft CMS is known for its quality, security, and scalability. It is regularly updated with improvements, bug fixes, and developer support, and it allows for the installation of additional libraries and custom functionality through plugins and Composer. Customization and Multilingual Support! Craft CMS offers full freedom in the design of templates, strict separation of content from structure, and built-in support for multilingual websites. It allows for the development of tailor-made content and provides an awesome, customizable dashboard. Performance and Speed: Craft CMS is recognized for its fast development of tailor-made content, great admin interface, and the use of proven technologies like PHP, Yii, Twig, and MySQL or PostgreSQL, which contribute to its performance and stability.

Cons

  • Craft CMS may require more effort to convince stakeholders to use, as it is not as well-known as WordPress or Typo3.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to customize website functionality. Set up process is easy with effortless content publishing options. Beautiful website layouts and powerful SEO.
  • - Ghost is very lightweight and minimalistic to use. It removes all the bloat and clutter that WordPress has, making it perfect for those who just wish to blog and not think about much else. - Great editing environment!
  • - Really removes all the bloat and clutter of WordPress and helps you focus only on your content. Very useful for bloggers.

Cons

  • Overall it's an outstanding website platform.
  • - I have no issues with the CMS itself but it can be a bit on the expensive side to host Ghost on their own servers (Ghost Pro) compared to other services.
  • - Lacks the flexibility and ease of WordPress. Also takes more effort so setup.
