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.
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.
Please check the Concrete5 Features page for more information about what Concrete5 has to offer.
