Concrete 5 is a relatively newer CMS, but is gaining rapidly in terms of its user-base. An advantage of C5 is it’s simpler user interface when it comes to managing content on the back end. Additionally the C5 community is a more aggressively managed (think iTunes vs Android market place) resulting in better quality 3rd party products offered up in a more standardized streamlined format. A trade off is that being a more recent entrant to the space there are fewer 3rd party plugins to choose from. The Andesoft team has not only worked with several C5 deployments but are also contributors to the C5 community with their own plug-ins that address specific unmet needs.

We have extensive expertise in building websites and portals powered by a Content Management System (CMS). With a CMS you can easily manage your website and scale it according to your specific needs.
Internet users have become highly intelligent and demanding with their content needs and static or “billboard” sites are pretty much outdated. For a site to prove “sticky” and attract repeat visits it needs to serve up fresh and updated content periodically. A CMS can help you manage and achieve this in a cost-effective manner. This is why more and more customers are deploying CMS systems to run their websites. Some of the benefits a CMS offers include:
- Quick and easy updating
- Better SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
- More tools for one-to-one marketing
- Time and cost effective
- Smooth data retrieval and storage
- Freedom to control design elements
In today clients have a choice of several system options to select from ranging from licensed .Net options to open source solutions that can give you a higher level of control coupled with cost savings. We recommend the optimal CMS based on specific business needs including an outlinine of the pro and cons as they apply.
