Content Management Systems - Concrete5


Over the next couple of weeks I'll throw together a review of the various content management systems you can use for web development and hopefully find some good videos that give a brief intro into these CMS's.


I thought I'd start with the Concrete5 CMS. Not as famous as other platforms (wordpress, drupal, joomla etc.) but a great base to build your web sites.

Concrete5 is now open source but was originally built in 2003 for AdCouncil (an American non-profit organisation that distributes public service adverts on behalf of various sponsors including the US government).
Unlike many other CMS platforms Concrete5 didn't start out as a blogging tool - this makes it great for building non-blog style websites (but you can add blog functionality using a free blog add-on).

Some of the benefits of Concrete5:
  • It's free
  • You can rebrand and resell
  • It's easy to take HTML/CSS designs and then add the CMS functionality
  • There's a marketplace of Add-ons (blogs, widgets, ecommerce)
Check out this video that shows a quick introduction to Concrete5
