is there another way?

and you find out, there are…

in common (tech version)

and (why) I used Plone for that

Some reasons are better than others

• Avoiding more custom PHP development

• Batteries included

• I’m still quite productive with Plone

• And …

Did not look for hosted solutions

and I still use Plone…

All good reasons

• One API endpoint

• Better control over performance issues

• Integration with front-end development is essential

and now I have 4 Plone developers in the team

results

–Kathleen McCaffrey

„With little knowledge of developing a website, this CMS meant I quickly felt comfortable navigating the entire website and making

content changes - a much more efficient solution for editing texts and media which will really come in use for A/B testing and seasonal

campaigns. Brilliantly simple and clear!“

–Yael Biran

„Ideal solution! Within a couple of days we had a live website, which was impressive and consistent across pages. The CMS gives us the

flexibility to change all content at any given time.““

–Leo Chow

„So much better than Wordpress!“

–Alina Muller

„Come on, I used it only once!“
