Why We Like Craft CMS
August 23, 2021
A brief, high-level overview of what we like about Craft CMS and why we prefer it over similar PHP content management systems.
What We're Thinking
The weblog where we talk about content management systems, Tailwind and web development in general — along with a chili recipe now and then.
We started writing here for the same reason we build websites by hand: the details matter, and we like sharing what we learn along the way. Some posts dig into the tools we reach for every day and why we chose them; others are lighter fare from around the workshop. If you are a small-business owner weighing your options, we hope they give you a clearer picture of how we think about the craft — and maybe a decent dinner idea.

Have a Topic You'd Like Us to Cover?
We are always happy to talk shop. If there is a web-development question you have always wondered about — how content management systems really differ, what actually makes a website fast, or whether a custom build is worth it for your situation — send it our way. It might become the next post. Good ideas rarely arrive on a schedule, so we keep this space open-ended and write when something is genuinely worth saying. In the meantime, you can learn more about our studio or browse some of our work.
