i'mm using ConcreteCms for all website, e-commerce, content management, proffessionnal software, intranet back end. I can do all with it, then i do :)

Concrete5 simply the best ^^

Powerful, Extendable, User-Friendly

Love it as a developer and I love providing Concrete5 powered websites to my clients.  Doesn't get too much more ideal than that!

Great for end-users and developers

Good news, there is ecommerce for concrete5 here:

We needed to upgrade a very old website and do it in stages, when we had time.  We needed the website to work on mobile devices as well as computer browsers.  Finally, we are a professional firm, so we needed a website that looked professional and not canned or weak.  Concrete5 provided us with a solution that worked on cross platforms and provided templates that look professional from the start.  We have also been able to develop the site in stages.  While we are not completed, we are much closer, much faster than other tools would have provided us.  Page styles give us some structure on different sections and multiple users also allow faster setup and maintenance.  I will use this on other websites I manage.

Flexible, Customizable, Edit Anywhere Web Sites

A great CMS that makes updating a site easy. So easy, that as a web developer I choose it for my own sites safe in the knowledge that I can make updates quickly and easily without having to alter the code in most cases.

Amazing CMS, easy to use for both developers and admins

No idea why people use any other CMS. Hard to be Betamax in a VHS world. Appreciate that add-ons can be tested on new sites before buying. Also the compact marketplace is easier to navigate, though there are some more advanced ones that haven't been developed/ported yet. The Major upgrade to Version 8 was manageable for them in a way other platforms can't pull off no matter how badly they need them. 

The right CMS for me for years

We deliver content managed websites to our clients who find concrete5 easy to use.  concrete5 has increased our client's enjoyment of the editing process and has enabled us to efficiently deliver sites that meet a very wide range of requirements.

Powerful, easy-to-use website content management

I used to build *all* my sites in Concrete5 version 5.6. That was when third party support was the most active. With the release of version 7 and continued in 8, that was severely reduced due to new addon requirements and some developers not wanting to re-write their products. In addition, Portland Labs had abandoned their eCommerce and discussion board addons, leaving some site designers high and dry, until the e-commerce function was added by the open source Community Store.

I am hoping with the soon-to-be-released Concrete CMS (version 9), the third party situation will begin to improve again, I would be happy to return to the fold.

Concrete is only as strong as the mix.

Intriguing awesome learning and production deployment of Human Resource Management Information System on Concrete5 CMS

Most agile CMS web solution

It has made it possible to both create customer sites for clients in the past as well as maintain a highly functioning enterprise website today. The learning curve is manageable and the addons are, typically, well tested and reliable. It is the best development platform I've used to date.

Painless CMS

For me as a developer, concrete5 is a great base to build almost any project on. The extremely powerful attribute system lets you add custom categories so you can reuse tried and tested code for free. You can even add your own custom attribute types which can pull from other data sources. The built in user management system, complete with support for Oauth is one less thing you have to code.

concrete5 - The Best of Breed CMS

Even for complexly applications it's usually my preferable platform even over frameworks as it provides the functionality of a framework yet still provides additional functional that is almost always useful regardless of your use case. 

Hands down best cms / framework

Concrete5 made is easy for us to setup complete websites, including a built-in blog, for users who had little or no experience with blogging. Once we adjusted to the user interface and the customization methods, we were running smoothly in a very short time. Highly recommend it!

Excellent CMS!

I was able to come into my position having past experience with WordPress and easily figure out how to use Concrete5.

User Friendly Website CMS

This is now my go to CMS, I don't need to keep going and installing updates to keep it secure like WordPress, none of my site have ever been hacked. The feature set out of the box is perfect and you don't need to get loads of extra plugins. 

Amazing and really well thought out CMS. Works out of the box

Concrete5's page-centric approach makes this an easy win for custom websites. In page editing overcomes editor's apprehension. Site admins pickup basic page creation and updating quickly. Page versioning gives them confidence to make changes knowing they can be easily rolled back. File management is familiar. 

C5's use of MVC architecture gives developers complete control over the end solution. Theming is straight forward. Adding custom block-types views is easy for even new devs. And C5's "single page" types can leveraged for powerful front-end and back-end solutions. "Express Objects" in recent versions of C5 is a welcome and powerful addition.

In short Concrete5's approach to CMS makes sense.

Powerful Site Builder

We can build a beautiful, fully functioning website in a minimal amount of time and then train the client on how to manage their website with concrete5 in under an hour.

Concrete5 is the Best Content Management System for Small to Medium Sized Businesses

Scaling with CMS with Concrete5

A brilliant CMS solution for the real web developer

Easy, drag and drop type of website creator

We've been using Concrete5 for many years for one of our youth summer camp programs. I have very limited website management/design experience. But I find that Concrete5 has easy to use interface that allows me to change and update pages with little to no issue. In all the years we've been using Concrete5, there have been no major issues that would make me considering using different software. Very happy with this software!

Concrete5 has all you need to get the job done!

I need a website that is responsive to the customer with choices of theme and concrete5 served it.
