ConcreteCMS (formerly 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.
In October 2021, version 9 was released. Version 9 is a major new release that adds new features like multisite support, boards, new built-in gallery block and new UI based on Bootstrap 5.
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 ConcreteCMS can take away those frustrations and make editing your site really easy!
We strongly believe that ConcreteCMS 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. It makes for the perfect partner for our web design services.
If you are already familiar with ConcreteCMS, you may need help that you aren’t getting at the moment.
As an official ConcreteCMS Service Partner, the developers from our web design agency undertake a huge variety of ConcreteCMS development projects, from new builds to maintenance and amends on existing websites.
