Concrete5 is an open source content management system (CMS) used to build websites.
Concrete5 CMS is a popular, easy-to-use platform for those with limited technical knowledge:
- Wiki software allows content editors using Concrete5 to edit content directly from each page
- An intuitive interface allows site builders to add Concrete5 custom forms to pages without coding
- Built-in version control enables content editors to revert to a previous version if a mistake is made
- Site builders using Concrete5 can add and/or change themes with just a couple of clicks
- A “Users and Groups” management feature allows site builders using Concrete5 CMS to create community sites, and gives the site administrator control of permissions
- Reports and statistics features allow site administrators and marketing teams to keep track of the activity of users on the site
- Site builders can easily install Concrete5. The installation software checks all requirements before the installation, creates all database tables without any additional steps, and once the installation is complete, it automatically generates a password that can later be changed on the dashboard
For developers, the underlying structure of Concrete5 CMS is very easy to work with as well:
- The ADODB Database Framework makes it possible to migrate to other databases like PostgreSQL, (However, MySQL is recommended)
- The Concrete5 CMS is implemented using a MVC pattern design which makes it easy to add special application logic without affecting the presentation
- A powerful API allows for developers to create components programmatically such as users, pages, blocks and block types, administration settings, etc…
- The API also allows front-end developers to create custom themes and easily define regions for creating dynamic content
