What is Concrete5 CMS?

Concrete5 is a "Content Management System" (CMS). CMS's allow you to make updates to your website yourself, without needing to delve into the HTML to make changes.

Do you find it frustrating to update your website, with little access or you can't find how to do what you need to do? If so then Concrete5 can take away those frustrations and make editing your site really easy!

We believe that Concrete5 is the best CMS in the market, because it has been designed to be really easy and intuitive to use. "In-context" editing means you edit your websites' pages on the "front-end", as you look at them.

Concrete5 also has an intelligent search built in so that you don't need to go hunting all around the system to find what you are looking for.

About Mortgages

We are delighted with the quality of our new website, which has enabled us to effectively communicate our various areas of work and build an engaged and increasingly active audience. The common-sense design and easy-to-navigate structure has also helped us establish our organisational identity following a full rebrand in 2017. The support has been excellent throughout.

Dave modified various technical aspects of the site to make it load more quickly and for it to run faster. He also detected some additional major issues that needed fixing. All the work was carried out in just a few days to my total satisfaction. My website listing on Google now has a continual steady increase in the number of impressions and clicks it receives as a direct result of Dave Reeder’s expert advice and skills!
