Craft CMS

Security

With data security being a crucial consideration for any website, you can take comfort in Craft’s security credentials. As it is professionally maintained, it has high levels of security with an established release cycle and regular maintenance releases.

Live preview

Craft’s Live Preview mode is a standout feature. It allows a content author to preview content changes in real-time before they even press the save button. In fact, there is no reason to save as Craft auto-saves does it for you.

Shareable drafts

Craft’s publishing workflow allows you to save pages as drafts so you or a colleague can review the changes before publishing. Sending a special link to external partners means you can share drafts and gain approval without granting access to the CMS.

Inline content creation

Craft streamlines the content authoring process by providing content authors shortcuts for creating content on the fly. For example, when creating a new article you may want to assign it to a new category or relate it to a page that does not yet exist. This can all be achieved directly on the entry page being created — saving time.

Asset management

Organise assets in different folders or subfolders and safely move assets between them without the fear of it breaking on the front-end templates. Craft tracks all files added to an Assets field or embedded in a Rich Text field.

Image editor

Natively, you can edit (resize/crop/rotate) images, but, more importantly, you can add a focal point to them. This allows you to upload a single image, assign a focal point and then use that same image on different templates at different sizes.

Matrix field

Matrix fields allow you to create repeating and mixed content types using a single field, which we call the Page builder. With this powerful feature at your fingertips you have full control over your content.

User management

Create User Groups to help organise your site’s user accounts, as well as batch-set permissions to make user management easier.

Granular permissions can be set for individual users, such as the ability to access the control panel, edit content within certain sections.

Data in

Feed Me is a first-party Craft plugin for importing of content — either once-off or at regular intervals. With support for XML, RSS, ATOM, CSV or JSON feeds it is possible to import content as Entries, Categories, Craft Commerce Products and more.

Data out

Where Feedme gets data into Craft, GraphQL API — extending the possibilities of how Craft can be used in unique ways.

Multi-language

Without doubt, Craft is the best CMS for managing content that targets different locales. Simply switch between languages on the publish form page and add the relevant content.

Multisite

A single installation of Craft can be used to manage different websites even if they have different domains. Better still, content can be shared amongst these websites — great for a suite of company websites.
