Craft CMS – The Future is Headless

Easily add content and flexibly expand its visual presentation at any time: With Craft CMS, your content management meets the highest standards.

Craft CMS – The Future is Headless

We believe that a good CMS should be easy and comfortable to use – without any restrictions in the implementation of the functional requirements of your website or web application.

That's why Craft CMS inspired us. It is undoubtedly one of the most flexible and powerful CMS and is still easy to administer. The system allows us to tailor the content management system for managing a website exactly to your requirements without having to compromise.

Thanks to Craft CMS, we can show what is possible online with code craftsmanship. We play freely and implement websites individually!

Craft CMS from Pixel & Tonic offers many advantages over the classic and well-known CMS alternatives (such as WordPress, Typo3 or Drupal).

Fully customisable and flexible

Craft CMS is first installed "empty" and then configured exactly according to the jointly defined blueprint and the individual requirements of your website or web application. This means uncompromising control over all processes. The individual configuration eliminates unnecessary ballast - the CMS remains lean and clear.

Content first

Craft CMS focuses fully on the backend - true to the motto "content first". The system is therefore fully geared towards making the administration and development of your content as easy as possible for you. For the administration of your content, countless types can be created and combined as desired. The backend of your website adapts perfectly to your content strategy.

In short: you have full editorial freedom!

Headless and multi-staging

The graphic development of your website ("frontend") takes place independently of the backend and is then linked to Craft CMS via a templating engine (Twig). This means that there are no limits to your creativity when designing your website. We prefer to programme the frontend of your website with the Visual Code Editor from Webflow (find out more here).

New developments are first made available on a separate test instance. Only after they have been tested and approved by the customer are they transferred to the live environment. Each adaptation is versionified and can be reversed if necessary.

No code manipulation

Craft CMS is linked exclusively via the templating engine Twig and/or via a GraphQL API with the existing code base of the frontend (i.e. the graphical representation of a website). Consequently (and compared to other CMS), Craft does not generate any disturbing additional HTML components. The code of the website remains clean and clear. This has a particular effect on the loading speed of the website - an important factor for a good Google ranking. According to our experience, the page speed of a website could be significantly increased in interaction with Craft CMS - compared to other CMS.

Don't forget: Even if it feels like a page loads quickly, Google counts every tenth of a second. Every improvement in loading speed helps your visibility on Google!

Multisite and multidomain capable

You want to manage several websites in parallel or administer the content of your website, app and social media channels via a central system? No problem: Craft CMS offers this functionality out of the box - and in a perfection that no other CMS can match.

In line with the current headless CMS movement, Craft CMS has powerful interfaces. This allows you to manage several external frontends centrally in one content management system.

Internationalisation and multilingualism

Operating a multilingual website is no problem with Craft CMS. Unlike many other systems, an additional plugin is not required. New language versions can be added and managed directly in the CMS at any time. The content and structure of each individual page can be designed individually for each language version. In addition, specific content can only be output to individual language versions.

For example, should a certain blog post only be available in the English version of your website? No problem with Craft CMS! There are no limits to the multilingual orientation of your website.

SEO

Good search engine optimisation (SEO) is a must-have for every professional business website. With numerous plugins, Craft CMS offers powerful and preconfigured tools for optimising your visibility in search engines. The system also offers the freedom to configure the optimal SEO setting from scratch.

Innovative editor with live preview

A feature often requested by website editors is a live view. It is often super-helpful to know how the content will subsequently behave on the website while editing it. Craft CMS offers a first-class and intuitive solution that puts the competition to shame.

Editors can switch between different displays (desktop, tablet and mobile) while entering new content and see how their content looks on the different devices.

The publication needs approval from another person? Such collaborations are also easily possible: Content saved as a "draft" can be shared with other people via a preview link without these people needing a login for Craft CMS.

The editor is also responsive. This means that content can also be edited on a mobile phone or tablet.

Integrated image processing with focus point

With the integrated image editor, images can be inserted and edited (cropped, rotated, mirrored and smoothed) simply by dragging and dropping.

The image editor also offers a practical feature: the Focus Point. Websites need to be responsive in many formats and images are often displayed differently. Setting a focus point in the image editor ensures that the central content of an image is always visible (on all screen sizes and devices).

Scalable and flexibly expandable

Craft CMS can be expanded at any time without any problems - even during operation. The system evolves with your company and keeps pace even with rapid corporate growth.

eCommerce

With "Craft Commerce", Craft CMS can be expanded into a powerful online shop. This function comes directly from the manufacturer and is therefore guaranteed compatible with Craft CMS.

Craft CMS is a modern CMS that consistently focuses on user-friendliness for editors. The system is suitable for both simple websites and complex web applications with high demands on the customisability of content and page structure.
