You can install addons easily with a single click, and updating it doesn't take more than that either.

Most drag-and-drop WYSIWYG editors for webpages have issues with responsiveness and layout staying consistent across devices, but Concrete5 handles this extremely well with responsive grid breakpoints.

Concrete5’s editor is very user friendly and allows for inline WYSIWYG editing directly on the web page itself. This isn’t limited to content alone and can be used for editing the page’s layout, which makes it a huge plus for customising and managing the site, especially if the user is a layperson.

Concrete5’s marketplace does not allow just any addon on it, and the marketplace’s submission rules are quite strict. There’s a certain amount of quality you can expect if you use/purchase any addons from the marketplace.

Websites built in Concrete5 are by default search engine optimized. The appropriate meta tags, sitemaps, URLs, etc. are all taken care of for you, and you can easily control/edit them when needed.

About half of the addons in the marketplace are free. Many of those with costs are cheap compared to the development work involved.

Addons in the marketplace have been reviewed by experienced developers and approved as well built and fit for purpose.

In contrast to WordPress and other similar platforms, Concrete5 is built as a CMS from the ground up without any assumptions on what sort of content it will be managing. This makes it powerful and much more intuitive for building sites that are not blog-centric or centered around blog-like content.

Concrete5 shines when you need something quick — because of the way the editor works, you can get up and running really quickly and build a full website in a short amount of time.

All of Concrete5's built-in themes (and many community themes) are responsive and ready for mobile out of the box.
