What is Craft CMS?

Though licensed, its source code is open for inspection, fostering collaboration, easy integration with third-party tools, and custom Craft plugin development. It’s created by the Pixel & Tonic team (led by Brandon Kelly).

A dedicated marketplace offers Craft developers access to numerous plugins and integrations, backed by an active Craft developer community. This open architecture allows Craft designers to create highly customised, engaging web pages. At PWD, our Craft CMS development focuses on tailored Craft websites meeting your specific business needs. Craft CMS is a popular, user-friendly CMS known for its flexibility, rich functionality, and simple content management, making it a top choice for modern websites with its clean control panel.

Is Craft CMS right for your business?

Whether you’re a freelancer or a large enterprise, Craft CMS provides a flexible, easy-to-maintain CMS solution. Its suitability depends on your specific needs and scale, but Craft CMS excels at managing content for diverse sites.

Headless Craft CMS development in Perth

Headless Craft CMS development decouples Craft’s content management from front-end delivery. This allows independent development of your Craft CMS back-end and presentation layers (like front end templates). Marketers and content editors can then manage Craft content across multiple platforms (Craft websites, apps) without display constraints, as the headless Craft CMS system handles translation for various interfaces.

This decoupled Craft CMS setup reduces dependencies for safer, streamlined updates. Your team can confidently manage content without altering the Craft site’s core code (post-setup by a Craft CMS developer). Headless Craft CMS is cost-effective, speeding up new Craft tool and feature implementation. Expert Craft CMS developers use APIs for streamlined data access, ideal for flexible enterprise Craft projects. Pixel & Tonic (the Tonic team) is also developing Craft Cloud, a SaaS CMS allowing Craft websites to run on a managed headless back-end hosted by Craft, potentially eliminating self-hosting for some Craft CMS projects.
