Concrete was the solution I needed to create a beautiful website with little to no knowledge about how to do it. I tried several other "simple website creators" and Concrete was the only one clear and concise enough that I did not have to take a crash course on website design jargon to figure it out.

Concrete is at the moment the best PHP CMS. It's very easy to learn and use for clients but it's also very developer friendly. Many PHP CMS have a lot of friction when a developer tries to work out of the box, this is not the case with Concrete. Even advanced use cases feel natural.

All the clients we have handed Concrete CMS sites over to rarely come back with questions on how to use it. Concrete has been one the best CMS platforms we've used where you can truly assemble a page with page templates and blocks that doesn't follow a rigid structure. Other platforms force you into working "their" way which in turn forces a user to learn the ways of that platform.

Concrete is the most usable CMS out there for content editors - we've looked at other options over the years and nothing else matches the block editor for ease of use. You can be confident when you're editing a page that it'll look exactly how you want, because you're editing in the page itself. Custom block types are great for letting designers enforce specific layouts.

- Vasilis Fotopoulos
My elevator pitch goes like this: "We recommend a CMS called Concrete. You've likely not heard of it, but it similar to other PHP CMS platforms like Drupal or WordPress, but much more flexible and technically superior. The big reason we like to use it is when clients come back to us and ask if we can implement new functionality at the last minute, we generally always say 'yes' - where it's not so easy with the other platforms."
- Alex Aalto
Technical Director
Concrete has been quick to install, simple to edit, maintain and is a pleasure to work with. Once clients/users get used to the basics of editing and publishing it's not long before they start looking at the many other features available to them, especially the ease of adding additional themes and/or add-ons for that extra functionality from the marketplace with a few clicks. I have clients who have never come to me with Concrete issues, some have had a Concrete sites running for over nine years. Plus security is great, never had a site hacked.

Imagine WordPress, and Concrete are both cars. They will both do the basic thing which is get you from A to B. The difference is that when you want to change part of the car be it aesthetically or mechanically WordPress will have a world of interlocking problems. These would be the equivalent of updating plugins and taking the risk they don’t play well with the rest of your site. With Concrete modifications are a lot cleaner and MODULAR so when you want to make changes you know exactly where everything should fit.

- Adrian Koeppel
Concrete is an easy CMS both for editors and developers.
It has been designed and built around the user experience and that the WYSIWYG is not just an added piece. Many features have been thought of in an intelligent, simple and flexible way. You only need 3 lines of code to transform a simple HTML template into a CMS page. Concrete is quite powerful and complete out of the box and can be easily extended. The basic blocks are quite flexible so most of the time we don't need to add a lot of specific blocks, a simple block template is enough. If a specific development is necessary, in general it is easy to plan what to do, even for a developer new to Concrete.
- Cedric Matton
Digital Project Manager and developer
Concrete is the CMS I've chosen with my clients in mind. We used to spend time developing sites in a CMS for clients, but then were called again afterwards to make simple content changes. I wanted a user-friendly system that my clients would actually use, and Concrete has been it. Although I chose Concrete mainly for this reason, I love developing in it now also. Concrete is the all-around best system.
- Mike Wilbur

I am exceedingly pleased with the functionality, adaptability and security of Concrete. My particular sites are highly modified and it was easy to incorporate all the little tweaks, concepts and end objectives that I set out to built.
Everything and anything that I have envisioned for my web sites has been easily accomplished and I am not some kind of ninja super-coder, I am just a normal Joe. This speaks volumes to the adaptability of Concrete to be adapted and modified to create one of a kind web sites that are not simply another cookie cutter type clone web site like certain other brands of CMS.
One thing that brings me particular pride is the level of security that Concrete has brought to their product and in the library of third party vendors that build add ons. Concrete is an island of security in a world of CMS's that are constantly falling prey to script kiddies and their exploit attacks. Security is the ultimate priority of my web site and Concrete has NEVER let me down or failed my end users in their safe traversing of my sites.
- SNPMarq, securitynewswire.com
The core-team and the whole community is very enthusiastic, friendly, and helpful, even for newcomers with no experiences (like me). Concrete is very stable. My first installation is a 5.6 from 2012 and it is still running.
The addons are rather inexpensive or even free and nevertheless supported by the developers.
