What is Concrete5?

Concrete5 is a content management system (CMS) with a lot to offer. It’s open source but managed by a small team of developers, creating a happy medium of being flexible but not sprawling. The added benefit is that everything from themes to add-ons ‘just works’, without security issues, slowdown or abandoned projects. Add to that a growing community offering tips, support and developer jobs, and Concrete5 is an excellent foundation for your website. Concrete5 hosting at Web Hosting Scotland includes all our standard advantages such as free set up, support, a UK-based data centre and unlimited other one-click installs from our large script library.

Why Concrete5 hosting?

Concrete5 provides you with the building blocks to create your website exactly how you want it. The clever architecture means you can add components easily without endless editing to make features behave how you intended. Whether you’re creating an ecommerce store, a blog, forums, a portfolio, a gallery, or any other type of website, Concrete5 hosting provides everything you need to create your ideal website.

Other benefits include:

• In-context WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editing – Great if you’re building websites for clients who will need to go on and make changes themselves.
• Extensive online community – Get support whenever you need it, and even post jobs and find developers. Concrete5′s Karma points system with badges and weekly raffles ensures a growing community.
• Ideal for websites of all sizes – Concrete5 is used by everyone from individual bloggers to governments, universities and large companies world-wide.
• SEO shortcuts – Concrete5 makes it easy to install Google Analytics and track stats without touching code. Our Concrete5 hosting also provides SEO benefits to websites with UK audiences.
• Design flexibility – Give your website a unique and professional finish rather than a CMS feel. If design isn’t your strong point, there are plenty of themes to choose from or you could get one custom-made.
• Tried and tested add ons – Concrete5 state that ‘each add-on is tested by a peer review board and follows an architecture that will keep the rest of your site safe’.
