Drag & Drop CMS

Drag & Drop CMS

Many concrete5 developers will tell you the number one benefit to using concrete5® is that the usual simple sign-off at the end of any project is so easy. Clients who actually enjoy editing and adding content to their site are usually clients who pay their bills on time and bring more interesting work in the future.

DigitizeThis often find clients will start using a concrete5 site before the developer has fully completed the build-out. It really is that easy to figure out.

In Context Editing

Like Lego

You can drag a video, image item or any of the available fnctionalities available on your site called a block from one editorial area of the page (indicated by the red dotted lines).

A block is some content or functionality you can edit from within a page in concrete5. Think of legos, these are the actual building blocks that go together to make your site.

You can move stuff around and you can edit stuff using In-Context Editing features. It's what sets this CMS apart from its rivals. The ease of use is what keeps people feeling motivated and creative when adding content. It's like writing in a word processor,

With in-context editing you just point and click to add, delete or modify content. You can also add new pages easily anywhere and it’s updated everywhere. You can preview your changes before publishing them or manage the structure of your site to move, copy or delete any page in your website. On your website dashboard or control panel there is a file manager that takes care of all the images and documents you use throughout your site. You can as well add extra functionality.

  • Detailed permissions – create editor groups, approve content, and see an audit trail.
