Satisfied Customers
We have already convinced various medium-sized companies as well as large corporations of the advantages Craft CMS offers compared to other systems.
What Convinces Us About Craft CMS
A few years ago, when searching for alternatives to the long-standing favorite WordPress, which can't hide its inadequacies from experienced web developers, we came across Craft CMS. As a digital agency, we love engaging with new technologies and tapping into their potential for our clients. After careful testing, we quickly found our first customer who we could equally convince of the benefits of Craft CMS.
Since then, Craft CMS has been an integral part of our agency's technology stack. Craft CMS allows us, in the true sense of the word "craft", to demonstrate what can be achieved with the craft of coding. Craft CMS imposes no restrictions and does not force us to make compromises. Instead, it enables us to work freely and build amazing websites!

Fully customizable
Craft CMS is essentially installed "empty" at first, but this turns out to be a big advantage. Everything is configured exactly according to the jointly defined blueprint, without compromises and unnecessary ballast.
-
Custom content strategy
In Craft CMS, it is "content comes first". Any content types can be created from the backend and equipped with the necessary input fields, categories, or even versatile content builders. All out of the box.
-
Multisite & multidomain
Want to manage multiple websites through one system? No problem. Craft CMS offers this as a core feature, and does it so well and thoroughly that, in our opinion, no other CMS comes close. And the best part: You only need one license, no matter how many sites are set up.
-
Multilingualism
Translating websites is no problem with Craft CMS. Out of the box, the system offers an incredibly well-thought-out and equally flexible localization concept. There are virtually no limits to internationalizing your website.
-
SEO tools
A must-have for any professional website these days: Powerful tools for search engine optimization. With the approach of free configurability, the optimal setup can be created for every project. And alternatively, there is also an established SEO plugin.
-
Live preview
A frequently requested feature by website editors is a live view while editing content. Craft CMS offers a first-class and intuitive solution for this.
-
Scalable and expandable
Because the system is fundamentally configured for each project, Craft CMS can be extended without any issues while in operation. This way, the system can grow along with your company.
-
Craft Commerce
With Craft Commerce, Craft CMS can be scaled up to a full-fledged and powerful online store. This feature comes directly from the manufacturer and is thus guaranteed to be fully compatible with Craft CMS.
-
Headless CMS
Craft CMS can also be used as a headless CMS, a pure backend CMS that primarily serves as a content repository. Through powerful interfaces, your external frontends can be centrally managed.

In our agency, we love Craft CMS because it fully corresponds to our philosophy and understanding of valuable web development.

What Makes Craft CMS Better Than Other CMS?
Focusing on the User, Not the Webmaster
Craft CMS sets new standards through an innovative content concept coupled with an intuitive author interface. A top-of-the-line image editing tool allows for image editing including the definition of so-called focal points, which are enormously helpful in displaying responsive images. The positive user experience is rounded off with an advanced SEO module and a brilliantly implemented live preview and editing view.
A Flexible Newcomer Instead of a Modernized "Dino"
The approach of the common CMS systems on the market is based on a predefined standard structure for the content and its architecture. This predefined structure can then be adapted to the requirements of the client. Craft CMS takes the exact opposite approach, offering smart tools to define the content structure and necessary input fields yourself, completely made to measure. Craft CMS is therefore designed to create the system structure that best suits your requirements.
You Set the Guidelines
The Craft CMS system does not impose any specifications on the website. This way, it can be precisely adapted to any existing concepts by a developer. And not only in the frontend but also in the backend. With the right configuration, you have a perfectly tailored author's dashboard at your disposal, which covers all functions as desired. Unlike its competitors, developers start setting up a configuration with a blank sheet of paper and can present their "craft", their craftsmanship, without hindrance.
The Limits Rarely Lie Within the System
Craft CMS has unique features that make it usable for other types of web applications as well. Through the extensive user and rights management, portals or internal systems as well as headless CMS approaches can be implemented. Depending on the need, e-commerce and online shop functions can be implemented from the start or retrofitted later. With Craft Commerce, the provider offers an official solution including support.
Craft CMS FAQs
Below, we answer a few more questions that we regularly receive from interested parties.
What is the cost of Craft CMS?
Craft CMS is, if the intended use is of a business nature, a commercial content management system. However, compared to other paid solutions, the price is currently very low at an initial $299 per project. This price covers all updates within the first year. From the second year onwards, a reduced fee of currently $59 is charged. This secures further access to system updates and security releases.
If you want to implement an online shop with Craft CMS, the official shop extension Craft Commerce is required. This, like Craft CMS, also comes from Pixel & Tonic. The costs for a Craft Commerce license are currently $999. For simple shops that only offer one product (e.g. donations, subscriptions, or other paid content), the cheaper Lite version can be purchased for currently $199.

Why should I use a paid CMS when there are also free ones available?
It can be quite difficult at times to convince a potential customer to use a less common CMS, especially one that also comes with licensing fees.
We understand this at its core, but we would like to list a few points where Craft CMS stands out from other systems:
We think these are a whole lot of good reasons. With a one-time cost of $299 followed by $59 yearly for update licenses, the costs for commercial use are very manageable. Especially when you consider that we provide you with a state-of-the-art, high-performance website with Craft CMS that meets your goals and boosts your online success.
How secure is Craft CMS?
It is difficult to make a definitive statement about the security of a particular CMS. However, it is a fact that Craft CMS, due to its lesser popularity, is a significantly less attractive target for attacks than, for example, WordPress.
Furthermore, Craft CMS is a relatively new system, meaning many of its core components are programmed according to current developer standards. The technology stack and the system and database architecture support the assertion that this system was built and is maintained by very experienced developers.
The circumstance of it being a commercial yet source-open system is also an indication of more security. The code can be viewed at any time, and the team behind it is backed by a funding model that makes the efforts for further development profitable. The same applies to the plugin directory. The plugins listed here adhere to the quality standards defined in the documentation and are equally chargeable. Consequently, it is also assured that plugin developers are remunerated for their valuable work. Despite this, in the area of plugins, we as a web agency follow the approach of avoiding plugins as much as possible if a feature can be realized with reasonable effort and in a user-friendly way through core-side means. Our main concern is to keep dependencies low. This creates additional security for your project based on Craft CMS.
Furthermore, the principle applies that up-to-date software is generally considered effective protection against vulnerabilities and security gaps. Therefore, any software publicly deployed on the web should be regularly and carefully maintained. Craft CMS fulfills this premise, as evidenced by the very short intervals between software update releases. These consistently provide bug fixes, new features, and changes, and, true to its reputation as a fundamentally secure system, barely any security patches. The version history can be tracked here. Feel free to contact us if you are interested in having your Craft CMS website maintained.
Can I get a demo of Craft CMS?
Craft CMS offers a demo version. Simply visit the following website demo.craftcms.com and sign up for a non-binding test. Alternatively, you can also contact us and we will show you the system from the inside in a personal conversation or a video conference.

How Secure Is Craft CMS?
Making a definitive statement about the security of any specific CMS is difficult. What is clear, though, is that Craft CMS, simply due to its smaller market share, is a significantly less attractive target for attacks than, for example, WordPress.
Craft CMS is also a comparatively new system, meaning many of its core components are built according to current development standards. In general, the tech stack along with the system and database architecture suggest that this system was built and is maintained by highly experienced developers.
The fact that it's a commercial yet open-source system is another indicator of stronger security. The code can be reviewed at any time, and the team behind it is backed by a funding model that makes ongoing development financially viable. The same applies to the plugin directory: plugins listed there meet the quality standards defined in the documentation and are likewise paid products. This also ensures that plugin developers are fairly compensated for their valuable work. That said, as a web agency, our general approach across all CMS solutions is to avoid plugins wherever possible, as long as a feature can be implemented in a user-friendly way through core functionality with reasonable effort. Our main goal here is to keep dependencies to a minimum, which adds an extra layer of security to your Craft CMS project.
Beyond that, there's a general principle that up-to-date software is widely regarded as effective protection against vulnerabilities and security gaps. Accordingly, any software used publicly on the web should be maintained regularly and carefully. Craft CMS lives up to this standard, as shown by the very short intervals between software updates. These updates reliably deliver bug fixes, new features, and other changes, and true to its reputation as a fundamentally secure system, they rarely include security patches. You can track the full version history here. Feel free to reach out if you're interested in maintenance for your Craft CMS website.
How much does Craft CMS cost?
Craft CMS is a commercial content management system, provided it's used for business purposes. However, compared to other paid solutions, the price is quite low, currently starting at an initial $299 per project. This price covers all updates within the first year. Starting in the second year, a reduced fee of currently $59 is charged. This ensures continued access to system updates and security releases.
If you want to build an online shop with Craft CMS, you'll need the official shop extension, Craft Commerce. Like Craft CMS, it's also developed by Pixel & Tonic. A Craft Commerce license currently costs $999. For simple shops that offer only a single product (e.g., donations, subscriptions, or other paid content), the more affordable Lite version is available for currently $199.

Why should I use a paid CMS when free options are available?
It can sometimes be quite challenging to convince a potential client to use a less common CMS, especially one that comes with licensing fees.
We understand this concern at its core, but we'd like to highlight a few points where Craft CMS stands out from other systems:
- Less dependency on plugins for additional functionality.
- Multilingual support is built into the core. Unlike WordPress, no third-party plugin is required.
- Superior content management capabilities (think matrix fields).
- A brilliant user experience, comparable to that of WordPress.
- Craft CMS builds on established developer workflows and proven frameworks, making its application architecture far more modern than WordPress, which is quite outdated in this respect.
- Craft CMS is less vulnerable to hacker attacks and therefore more secure than, for example, WordPress.
- First-class, intelligent SEO tools.
- Built-in e-commerce functionality with Craft Commerce.
- A healthy add-on ecosystem through the official plugin directory, offering many high-quality premium modules.
- Support directly from the manufacturer.
We think that's quite a list of good reasons. At $299 one-time plus $59 annually for update licenses, the costs for commercial use are very manageable, especially when you consider that with Craft CMS, we create a cutting-edge, high-performance website for you that meets your goals and boosts your online success.
