Easy to Theme
Don't change the way you work. With concrete5, you can convert your basic HTML into a concrete5 theme in a few minutes. Simply copy and paste a line of PHP code for any area you want editable, and you're done.
In the end, it's your design that defines the process. Your code can be as clean or sloppy as you'd like. Create as many page types and themes as make sense for your project. We supply the tools, you can make anything.
Powerful Flexibility
We designed concrete5 to be a flexible toolbox for our own full service web shop's CMS needs. Sure, the in-context editing is simple to use, but concrete5 is by no means a WYSIWYG toy. You can build big, complicated, powerful applications with it. You'll also find that its flexible architecture makes it much easier to respond quickly as your client gets involved.
Our marketplace is full of add-ons that have been well tested. You won't find yourself having to be an expert in order to make anything work, and you wont find that installing one add-on causes others to break.
Active Community
