Concrete5 and WordPress are two quite popular and reputable CMS options that                       provide a good platform to create something that looks good and works well. They                           look pretty similar at first glance, but digging into the dashboard of websites reveal                           the fact that in fact they have quite different properties. The article aims to compare                             the strengths and weaknesses of both of them and clarify which CMS reigns the                           highest. 

Concrete5 has proved itself as reliable and trustworthy               CMS solution allowing to build any kinds of websites (e.g.                   online magazines and newspapers, eCommerce sites,           government websites community­based portals, as well           as personal and family websites). Concrete5 surely has               merits of its own:

The company offers free                         customer service and some free plugins. Everyone can get it from its official website. However, where there is light, there also shadow. The platform indeed has some                         obvious drawbacks which influence its popularity: 

● Limited Addons – Concrete5 has limited addons. Although it can be written,                       many newbies feel difficult to handle the whole process by themselves. ● Small Community – There aren’t many active members on its forum yet. As a                           result, it is hard for users to find effective solutions on its community. 

  

WordPress, alternatively, is currently listed as the most popular and credible software                       package to build any kind of websites with any complexity. Providing enough                       

functionality to appeal to a wide variety of users                 (newbies and experts alike), the platform has earned the                 love and loyalty of millions of people all over the world. It                       managed to dominate the CMS landscape due to the                 following reasons: 

● Popularity – WordPress is indisputably the most             welcomed piece of software out there. 

● Usability – WordPress is extremely intuitive and easy               work with even for the greenest of users. ● Search Engine Friendly – WordPress puts much importance on SEO,                   offerring numerous plugins in this regard in order to get high positions in search                           engines. ● Large community –WordPress community is extremely huge filled with both                   enthusiasts and webmasters. They provide a welcoming place to go in case you got                           stuck. ● Plenty of Plugins – WordPress offers an abundance of amazing plugins and                       themes that aim to add any extra functionality and refresh a visual look of a website as                                 often as required.
