Frequently asked questions

CraftCMS FAQ

  • Craft CMS is a flexible, self-hosted content management system built for organisations that need a completely bespoke website – not one squeezed into a generic theme. Unlike platforms that make assumptions about your content structure, Craft starts with a blank canvas. It's built for brands, agencies, and businesses that care about quality, performance, and a content management experience tailored to how they actually work.

  • Both are PHP-based CMS platforms with plugin ecosystems and strong communities, but their philosophies are fundamentally different. WordPress was built as a blogging platform and has been stretched over time to handle everything else – which means a lot of plugin dependency, legacy code, and bloat. Craft was built from the ground up for custom website development. There's no theming layer, no default HTML output to fight against, and no need to install a stack of plugins just to get basic functionality. The result is a cleaner codebase, a better editorial experience, and significantly stronger security.

  • Yes, substantially. WordPress is the most targeted CMS on the internet – around 90% of all hacked CMS sites run on WordPress, with the majority of vulnerabilities coming from third-party plugins and outdated themes. Craft's architecture minimises plugin reliance, and its codebase is regularly audited by third-party security researchers. The difference in publicly documented security vulnerabilities between the two platforms is significant, making Craft a far safer long-term choice for businesses where security and uptime matter.

  • Craft CMS is an excellent platform for SEO. Because you have complete control over your HTML output, URL structure, page architecture, and metadata, there are none of the constraints you'd encounter with a theme-based CMS. Craft also supports SEOmatic – widely regarded as a more powerful SEO tool than WordPress's Yoast – which handles everything from meta tags and structured data to XML sitemaps and social sharing. The clean, lightweight code Craft produces also means faster load times, which directly supports Core Web Vitals performance and search rankings.

  • No. Once built, Craft's editorial interface is designed to be used by non-technical teams with minimal training. The control panel is clean, logically structured, and purpose-built around your specific content types – which means editors only see what's relevant to them, not a cluttered dashboard of options they'll never need. Features like Live Preview, draft scheduling, version control, and multi-author collaboration make content management straightforward for anyone on your team.

  • Craft has a curated plugin ecosystem managed directly within its control panel, making it easy to handle licensing, updates, and compatibility in one place. Unlike WordPress, where plugin sprawl is a common problem, Craft's core handles a lot natively – reducing your reliance on third-party code and the security vulnerabilities that come with it. Where plugins are needed, they're well-built and maintained by a professional developer community focused on quality over volume.

  • Absolutely. Craft scales well for complex, content-heavy sites with sophisticated structures – multiple content types, relationships between entries, multilingual content, custom field layouts, and more. Because everything is modelled from scratch, the architecture can be designed to match your exact business logic rather than adapted from a generic template. Many of the world's top digital agencies build their most demanding client projects on Craft for exactly this reason.

  • Timelines depend on the scope of the project. A new build typically ranges from eight to sixteen weeks depending on design complexity, content volume, and integrations required. Migrations from another platform follow a similar timeline, with additional time allocated for content modelling, data mapping, and SEO protection. We scope every project individually and provide a clear timeline before any work begins.

  • We have experience migrating to Craft from WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Drupal, ExpressionEngine, and various custom-built platforms. Regardless of where you're coming from, our process stays consistent: a thorough audit first, careful content modelling, a clean migration, and meticulous SEO protection throughout to safeguard your search rankings.

  • We've been building with Craft CMS for years and it remains one of our platforms of choice for bespoke website projects. We use it because it lets us build without compromise – no themes, no bloat, no workarounds. From content architecture and custom field design to frontend development and post-launch support, we handle the full project. If you're looking for a Craft CMS agency that cares as much about craft as the platform itself, we'd love to talk.
