Key features include localization, section types, relations, image editor, categories, tags, multi-site, custom forms, live preview and user management. Teams using Craft can manage all custom fields in a centralized location, which can be organized into groups according to individual requirements. Employees can create and assign fields to users, sections, global sets, tags, assets and Matrix fields. The image editor enables staff members to flip, crop, rotate and strengthen photos from within the Control Panel. Additionally, managers can also define user groups and optionally enable public user registration. Craft allows eCommerce businesses to create limited or unlimited coupon codes, which can be applied to certain products or entire product categories. The solution is available for free as well as paid annual subscriptions and support is extended via a knowledge base, community, FAQs and online inquiry form. > > Verdict: Rated **4.5/5** by 19 users.

It is easy to setup, easy to structure data, author templates, and shape content the way you want. It is powerful, secure, and backed by a helpful team and robust community. I can't recommend a website building tool more highly than Craft. I've used many and it is simply the best. > > **Cons**: Like any CMS, Craft requires you to learn new techniques and tools that can feel foreign at first. This isn't unique among website building software so you have to be patient and give it time. > > I just built a massive website with Craft and it was a pure joy to work with. ----- ### "Robust enough for Power Users, Easy for Beginners" — 4.0/5 > **Courtney** | *3 December 2019* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The administrative tools used to change website content, add modules, and update pages are very user-friendly and it takes little training for a new administrator to learn. I also especially appreciate the Preview Feature which allows you to see your web page but then real-time edit it using the side panels. > > **Cons**: The search function for finding certain pages could be a little more robust. As it stands, it searches within certain types of pages (like entries, single pages, unpublished pages, etc.) but I wish there was a way to search from all categories at once and to be able to search content on the page, not just the title. > > Overall, our organization has been very pleased using the Craft CMS tool to power several different websites. It is robust enough that our developers/agency and easily create new modules and accommodate our requests, but easy enough that several entry-level administrators can update the content of the site and make simple changes. ----- ### "Pixels can be improved to have a clear vision" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *1 October 2018* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: No doubt it's good to practice craft like an artist here. Good functions provided > > **Cons**: Definition to view the screen n features if given more clarity than it would add on more to it ----- ### "Flexible Solution for Complex Needs" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *9 December 2019* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: We needed to build out an event management platform to suit our custom needs and were able to use Craft for a variety of functionality and it met nearly all of our needs. > > **Cons**: We had to build out a custom admin layer as the current admin layer was not customizable. Member management could also be improved, there are some kinks in permissions and viewing members that don't always make sense. > > Our experience was excellent. We were able to build out a custom platform to house all of our data and benefit from the CMS features inherent to Craft. ----- ### "Tool to enable quick soltuions to be provided with minimal fuss" — 5.0/5 > **Richard** | *26 February 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use and setup. Flexible and meets business demands very quickly. Minimal training and out-of-the-box solutions are readily available. Fully scalable to enterprise levels with minimal costs/skills required and enables better usage of resources. > > **Cons**: Purchasing additional licenses when required is a piecemeal approach rather than licensing from within the platform. Updates are good but our solution required an initial older version which also caused issues elsewhere, but resolved in a reasonable timeframe. > > A useful tool that provides a simple straightforward interface, easily managed by those that have not used this tool before. Quick solution to a straightforward request to have a working product in place in a matter of weeks as opposed to months. Used in the industry and easily scaled to our larger requirements once put live. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/303761/pixel-and-tonic-craft?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/303761/pixel-and-tonic-craft) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
