Concrete CMS is a content management system written in the PHP programming language. Concrete began as Concrete CMS in 2003, and was the glue behind many web applications, websites, stores and forums between 2003 and 2008. In 2008 Concrete's 5th major version release was rebranded concrete5(tm) and launched fully Open Source under the MIT license. Between 2008 and 2014, concrete5 released 7 versions, further refining the interface and adding many additional features, including localization support and support for a full commercial and non-commercial marketplace. In 2014, concrete5 version 7 completely overhauled both the interface and the underlying framework for modern PHP. Concrete5 has now been rebranded back to Concrete CMS in 2021.

Concrete has allowed individuals involved with websites to easily manage their content and their site structure. Above all else, the goal behind concrete5 has always been to make it easy for anyone to run a website.
Concrete CMS is a Framework like Symfony or Laravel

Beneath the interface components and site structure of concrete sits a powerful framework built from custom components and third party libraries from projects like Laravel and Symfony Components. Concrete has always provided model-view-controller development, and with version 7 fully embraces domain-driven design as well. Many commercial websites require custom extensions, and Concrete provides many ways to extend the core code base to support development like this. Concrete is a member of the PHP Framework Interoperability Group and fully supports modern PHP standards and code conventions.
Concrete CMS is also an Easy to Use Web Builder

We certainly designed concrete as a toolbox for agencies to use in building great sites they wanted to put in the hands of clients. That being said we've been pleasantly surprised over the years to see many thousands of individuals with little to no technical background have great success building a small site with concrete on their own - no coding required. Version 7 improves the fluidity, feedback and appearance of the interface significantly, to the point where Concrete can compete with incredibly easy to use web builders, like Squarespace or Wix, without sacrificing power under the hood.
