Concrete5 - Best CMS in 2020
In today’s market there are numerous emerging content management systems (CMS) which provide users with the ease of managing the creation and modification of digital content. Each system offers different features and functions and comes with different pricing models. They allow users to build a website without having to code it from scratch or know how to code at all. One of the most successful software which has been around for over 10 years and performed without fail is Concrete5.
Why Choose Concrete5?
Ever since KOS was in the market, we have explored various options of CMS and concrete5 is by far the best. How so?

Often, the process of maintaining and editing a website’s content is quite daunting for someone who does not have the knowledge in programming languages. Most, if not all, businesses have to update their websites at some point, so wouldn’t it be a good idea to have software that helps you achieve the result without going through the challenging tasks?
Whilst most CMSs are designed to either build or run a website, concrete5 has the capability to do both.With concrete5, anyone can start building their own website in seconds, and the editing experience is easy; just click on what you want to change. The developers still get a full flexible framework for making sophisticated web applications and you as a site owner will be able to make changes and additions on your own, for years to come.
We have built many complex websites using Concrete5, including projects that need the highest level of security such as financial institutions (BBL Asset Management, one of the largest commercial banks in Thailand).
What is the Pricing?
Concrete5 is completely open-source. The software is Free under the MIT software license. Whether you are a small startup or a large well-known company, you would be able to easily and legally use concrete5.
