Why we love Craft CMS

If you've ever dreaded logging into your CMS, you're not alone. We've worked with lots of people who had previously been handed websites that felt clunky, confusing, or fragile. Often the fear of "breaking something" stopped them from updating anything at all.. that's not sustainable in our eyes!

Craft CMS changes that. Its admin area is clean, focused, and easy to navigate. The content editor only sees what they need to see, so there's no digging around in confusing menus or wondering if you're editing the right thing. Fields are clearly labelled, layouts are intuitive, and you can preview your content before hitting publish.

One client told us, “I actually enjoy editing the website now.” That’s exactly what we love... websites that empower people to keep content up to date, without needing to come back to us every time they want to change a sentence or update an image.

Craft isn’t like off-the-shelf platforms that force you into rigid templates or page builders. Every Craft site we build is built completely bespoke. You're not boxed into a theme, and your website doesn't end up looking like someone else’s.

Whether you're running a single-page site or managing hundreds of pages across different sections, Craft gives you the flexibility to grow. We design the CMS structure around your content - not the other way round. You get exactly what you need, and nothing you don’t.

This custom approach also means your site loads faster, is easier to maintain, and works beautifully across all screen sizes.

Security matters. We've seen far too many WordPress sites go offline because of outdated plugins, insecure themes, or automated attacks. Also in recent years there has been a huge increase in cyber attacks through websites. These issues can criple day to day operations. 

But with Craft, all plugins are vetted, updates are straightforward, and there’s no tangled mess of dependencies waiting to break. Most importantly, Craft is built by a small but highly respected team who put security and stability first.

For our clients, this means fewer headaches and more peace of mind. You don’t need to be constantly patching things or worrying that your website’s vulnerable. And we don’t need to bolt on layers of security just to keep things stable - it’s already baked in.

Just because Craft starts simple doesn’t mean it stays basic. Need to add a shop later? Or hook into a CRM? Or build an archive of past events? No problem. Craft’s flexible architecture means we can add what you need when you need it, without starting from scratch or building a messy plugin to change your theme.

This is especially useful for growing organisations. One of our long-term clients started with a simple site and later added online donations, event booking, and video integration - all within the same system. Craft handles it all, and the editing experience stays consistent and easy to manage.

We’ve been working with Craft since 2017, and the reason we keep choosing it is simple: it makes sense for the people using it. It’s solid, secure and flexible - but above all, it’s intuitive.

It lets us design websites that work beautifully on the front end, and are just as effortless to manage behind the scenes. And when we hand a project over, we know our clients will feel confident keeping things up to date.

So if you're frustrated with your current CMS, or worried about security, or simply want something that just works—Craft CMS might be exactly what you're looking for.
