Craft CMS

What is Craft CMS?

Craft CMS is a highly flexible, PHP-based content management system often preferred by web agencies and developers for bespoke web projects. Unlike traditional CMS platforms that force you to work within predefined themes, Craft takes a "content-first" approach and uses the Twig templating engine, giving developers complete freedom to build custom frontends from scratch. A major advantage of Craft CMS is its incredibly intuitive control panel and flexible "Matrix" fields, which provide a superior and clean authoring experience for content editors. The disadvantage is that it is not a drag-and-drop website builder; it requires developer expertise to set up the code, structure, and hosting. Additionally, while there is a free tier for personal use, most business projects require a paid commercial license.
