Fast, flexible, and powerful: Why we’re a Craft CMS agency
Roughly a 4 minute read by Adam

When it comes to managing a website, cost, ease of use and flexibility are key. That’s why we at Engage love Craft CMS - a platform that strikes the perfect balance between functionality, powerful performance and user-friendly design, all at an unbeatable price.
Whether you’re creating content, managing multi-site projects, or ensuring bulletproof security, Craft CMS delivers everything you need without the unnecessary bloat. Here’s why we think it’s the best CMS on the block.
An author experience that puts you in control
One of Craft CMS’s standout features is its intuitive interface, which allows you and your team to focus more time on creating great content and spend less wrestling with rigid templates. With the freedom to build bespoke landing pages and manage your site with ease, you stay in control, with little to no developer input needed.
That’s exactly why we built Jet2’s blogging platform on Craft, creating a simple, user-friendly space for their team to elevate content, while driving commercial return via referral traffic. With effortless integration and an ever-growing library of travel stories, it’s never been easier for them to engage customers with high-quality content.
Powerful features, with zero clutter
Many CMS platforms come packed with features that sound great on paper but rarely get used in practice. Craft CMS takes a different approach, focusing on delivering powerful functionality that’s genuinely useful. These include:
- Component-based page builder: A flexible, customisable, component based system, which seamlessly adapts to your project requirements
- Multisite support: Manage translations or multiple brands with alternate content versions
- Live preview: See changes in real-time before publishing
- Drafts & revisions: Prepare pages for review and roll back to previous versions if needed
- User permissions: Lock down access so users only see what they need
Craft CMS delivers everything you need straight out of the box - allowing you to focus on creating high-quality, high-converting content.
Built to scale, extend, and integrate
Whether you’re building a small business site or a large-scale platform, Craft CMS development gives you the flexibility to grow. Its modular approach means you can tailor everything to your exact needs. Here are some of the next-level features we’ve brought to life with Craft CMS development:
- Personalisation: Serving targeted content to different visitors using Craft’s multisite UI
- Bespoke integrations: Seamless connections with in-house systems, all within the Craft control panel
- Automated content generation: Dynamically creating content-rich pages using external API data
Whatever your site needs, our Craft CMS developers can extend and enhance its capabilities, ensuring a future-proofed solution that evolves alongside your business.
Website security and performance you can rely on
A CMS is only as good as the team supporting it, and Craft doesn’t disappoint. With a dedicated maintenance team and a highly active Craft CMS developer community, vulnerabilities are quickly identified and patched. Craft even goes beyond its obligated support timelines to ensure older versions remain secure.
And when taking a headless approach to development, the front-end is decoupled, meaning lightning-fast response times without compromising on flexibility.
A cost-efficient alternative to other CMS solutions
For all this power, Craft CMS comes at a refreshingly low cost - a one-off license fee of $399, with an optional $99/year for updates.
Compared to enterprise solutions with hefty recurring fees (often for features you don’t even need), Craft offers unbeatable value. Instead of spending on unnecessary software costs, you can invest in custom Craft CMS development that makes a real difference.
