What Is a Custom CMS Website?
Let’s be honest, managing a website shouldn’t feel like a hassle.
Whether you’re updating your services, publishing a blog, or adding a new team member’s profile, you should be able to do it easily and confidently. That’s where a custom CMS website comes in, and we at Identity Creative can help with that.
What Is a CMS?
CMS stands for Content Management System. It’s the part of your website that helps you manage everything in the background. Think of it as your digital control center.
Popular platforms like WordPress, Drupal, and Joomla are great to start with, but if you’ve ever struggled with confusing dashboards or plugins that just don’t fit your needs, you know they might not be the best fit for everyone.
That’s where custom CMS development really helps.
Popular CMS Platforms: Pros and Cons
- WordPress – Flexible and user-friendly, but can get weighed down with too many plugins.
- Drupal – Great for complex, secure sites, but not the easiest to pick up.
-
Joomla – Sits somewhere in between, but can feel a bit dated.
- Craft CMS – Clean and customisable, popular with designers and developers.
- Webflow – Stylish and visual, though limited in backend control for larger projects.
Each has its pros and cons, but none are specifically made just for you. That’s the key reason for going custom.
Why Choose a Custom CMS Website?
- It fits your team – Built around how you work, not how a plugin wants you to.
- It’s user-friendly – You don’t need to be techy to update your site.
- It grows with you – Need new features later? Easy.
- It looks and feels right – Stay on brand, every time.
- It performs – No unnecessary code or features slowing things down.
In short, you get the freedom to manage your site the way you want.
