Craft CMS: 5 advantages for your website

We understand that you want to focus simply on content creation, so we handle everything that’s related to the front-end for you. Unlike other CMS platforms like WordPress or Drupal, Craft CMS starts from a clean slate and isn’t opinionated. This means we don't have to break down pre-made systems or templates.

Instead, we have the freedom to fully build up your website, tailoring it precisely to your requirements. We use customisable blocks to create unique pages. This makes it easy to organize and create content. It also helps in managing multiple sites in various languages.

For example, when we partnered with Chipea, a platform dedicated to raising happy, healthy eaters: Craft CMS made it a breeze to store personalised recipes in their website’s back-end, while also delivering a smooth front-end experience.

Craft CMS is renowned for its intuitive and user-friendly interface, making it effortless to work with. It offers a seamless experience that streamlines workflows and simplifies website management.

Thanks to its drag-and-drop interface, both our developers and you as a client can easily structure and nest pages, allowing for precise content organisation. Using customisable building blocks, you can build your own pages as needed. This provides flexibility and creative freedom without needing our technical expertise for every small change.

At Leap forward, we’re also big fans of the live preview feature, which visualises all changes made in real-time. This boosts collaboration between teams and speeds up content creation workflows.

Craft CMS provides a robust system for managing user roles and access levels. Administrators can finetune permissions, granting specific groups control over various functions. Whether it’s creating, editing or publishing entries, the level of control is always in your hands.

But that’s not all: Craft CMS also takes the pain out of asset management. The in-built asset manager tool organises files effortlessly, making it simple for you to manage your media content. Users can seamlessly store, access, and modify images, videos, and documents as needed. On-the-fly asset transformations like resizing, rotating or cropping are just a few clicks away.

Craft CMS redefines content management. You can see changes immediately with real-time previews and easily share drafts with your team. This allows you to work together and share ideas.

What’s more, Craft CMS’s drag-and-drop interface further simplifies the content creation processes. Its modular approach allows our clients to customise their pages using intuitive building blocks.

This flexibility extends to managing multiple websites and language versions from a central hub. It’s more than just building a website: it's about creating a dynamic global digital presence.

Furthermore, Craft CMS plays nicely with your favourite SEO tools, amplifying content optimisation, improving visibility and driving traffic. Combine this with our in-house digital marketing expertise and we can help you unlock your full SEO potential.

Craft CMS is designed to evolve alongside your growing business. Whether you're planning to add a webshop or sync up with existing tools like Shopify, Craft CMS smoothly adapts to your growing demands.

To enhance your website’s functionality over time, we leverage the extensive plugin ecosystem of Craft CMS. These plugins work well with your current business systems and tools, helping you make the most of your digital strategy.

Moreover, Craft CMS offers a headless mode – separating content management from presentation – enabling us to choose the best front-end technology for your business. We can deliver the desired user experience for any site, whether it’s a lightning fast static website, or an engaging single page application.

Craft CMS is a favourite among our team and our clients. If you work with the cms platform under our guidance, we will provide you with a custom manual to help you navigate your new website. We also offer a comprehensive demo session to ensure your content editor’s are fully up to speed.
