Avis sur Concrete CMS
Une bonne expérience utilisateur
Commentaires : Concrete5 me permet de me faire gagner du temps sur la maintenance et les mises à jour des contenus du site.
Avantages :
Le principal point fort est que le coeur du CMS Concrete embarque de manière native les fonctions essentielles pour une site vitrine. Vous n'avez pas besoin de plugin pour profitez d'une expérience d'édition agréable et intuitive. La solution est très flexible et permet une grande personnalisation du site.
Inconvénients :
Le faible choix des thèmes est un point faible. Aussi il existe assez peu de plugins de qualité lorsque l'on souhaite économiser du temps de développement.
User Friendly Website CMS
Commentaires : I was able to come into my position having past experience with WordPress and easily figure out how to use Concrete5.
Avantages :
I like how modern and user friendly this content management system is. Many features are drag & drop so even a novice can create a web page, but there are robust capabilities that can be coded in as well.
Inconvénients :
I would have liked other options for viewing files, specifically images. And increased ease of navigation through the back end of the website.

Awesome tool for a better web
Commentaires : I build a lot of websites for different industries like medicine, construction, food, automation, real state etc. The principal benefit is the time I save building with concrete5.
Avantages :
Easy: installation, configuration, customization and to do improvements. A great community that help everyone in trouble (if hapens). Tons of add-ons and great numbers of theme options (could be more, but is ok).
Inconvénients :
A few options to customize a theme on core system and few themes selling on market place.

Have we lost 15 years of work?
Commentaires : The theme we paid hard-earned donor money for was never upgraded to keep up with the updates Concrete 5 made to its operating system. Our theme no longer works with current versions of Concrete 5 (5.6) and I have no idea how to fix it. "Explanations" online require a Computer Science PhD to understand and I don't have the knowledge to figure out what they say to do. We've just let it go for years, but now we have t to change servers and I don't think the new server can handle the outdated version of Concrete 5 needed for our site to operate. YEARS of work are going to go down the drain if I cannot somehow salvage this. I have NO IDEA WHERE TO TURN for a plain-English response as to what to do.
Avantages :
Concrete 5 was OK in the beginning but now it looks like our choice to use this is going to cost us YEARS of hard work.
Inconvénients :
It is VERY hard to understand what to do with this software. Support is poor to nonexistent. Vendors are not required to keep up their products, leaving customers hanging. See our dilemma, below.

I'm disappointed to hear this Marybeth. You're right that in the 10 years we've been open source we've changed a lot. Keeping your site on the latest version is something that does require ongoing attention from a somewhat technical resource. Version 5.6 is actually legacy at this point, we're all the way to version 8.5 and are looking at a version 9 release in 2020. Today, to keep your concrete5 site running in a healthy manner it will need occasional attention from a web developer, who we'd happily make an introduction to if you filled out the contact form or the "We can build it together" overlay at the top of every page on concrete5.org. That said, I'm sure it will cost more than the $30-$50 you spent 10 years ago on that theme, and I completely understand if that's not the right choice for your non-profit. This is pretty common with open source software, but we are working on some new hosting approaches that mitigate some of the challenges around this in the future.

Avantages :
Concrete5 is great for everything from simple websites to custom, complex, applications. The peer-reviewed marketplace offers out-of-the-box solutions that save plenty of time and cost less than developing on your own with many add-ons available for free. Community support is fantastic with user forums and projects, including an e-Commerce solution that is robust and inexpensive to run with no monthly fees (seriously, the best e-Commerce package you're going to find). Sites can be deployed quickly with minimal costs and end-users can be trained often in minutes instead of hours or days. The platform is secure and allows fine-tooth permissions control. Internationalization is handled too for those that need to display their sites in multiple languages. Self-hosted and Concrete5 hosted options are available and maintenance is usually easily managed at the user-level. Without question, Concrete5 is the perfect mix of power and usability to allow sites to be deployed quickly at a reasonable cost.
Inconvénients :
There can be a learning curve and the technology used in the background has grown more complex over the last few years. This is not to say that it can't be used by those with less technical knowledge, just that like with any CMS there is a learning curve and some occasional pitfalls.
