Beats Wordpress hands down
Date: Feb 15 2021SummaryConcrete5 is a great CMS. I find it easy to use and easy to alter to meet my requirements. Hopefully people will come to learn that this CMS is better than all of its rivals and it will get the credit and support it deserves.
PositiveThis CMS is by far the easiest to use for end users. The WYSIWIG editor and block construction system is intuitive and easy to pick up. When I create websites for end user no training is required as a small word file containing user instructions is all that is needed. WordPress is only just catching up to Concrete5's standards but at the cost of a much slower comparative WordPress website.
NegativeThe documentation has been poor in the past but this has been acknowledged by the Concrete5 team and they are now trying to address it. As Concrete5 is not as popular as Wordpress the number of addons/plugins is a lot smaller.
