"As a developer, it's great to hand over content management to our marketing team"
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

It's super easy to setup and use in development, setting up keys to identify content, and quickly viewing a example response from the api buttercms dashboard gives you confidence to implement the calls in your codebase and map the data structures to the relevant places.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

We haven't run into anything problematic just yet! :)

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We've decoupled the addition/updating of marketing/dynamic content from our different teams, from something that only the development team would be able to do previously with new releases, to something the marketing team can do at any moment.

"Easy to use as both a developer and content creator"
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

ButterCMS is super easy to integrate on an existing site. Their processes to build a blog with just a simple command in the console is super helpful. Plus, abstracting all that "developer stuff" and giving content creators their own place to add content is incredibly helpful for any company serious about their blog. The built-in SEO is also great.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

It's best for those who publish content regularly. If you're not pushing out content at least weekly or are not serious about growing your content marketing efforts then you may want to look at other solutions.

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

I wanted to be able to publish content without worrying about spinning up a nice text editor, customizing all my SEO, and doing all the work that comes with developing a high quality blog in RoR. Butter makes all that work easy peasy.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

I had trouble once when the uploaded picture and video file didnt published well on our website. but it was solved later, and since that it works without any problems.

The best benefit is that once we needed to write articles related to our product, Butter CMS provided us an effective way how to create easily a blog on our platform without any need to code our own solution.

"Butter CMS is an amazing tool that will make your life easier!!!"

It is a very user-friendly tool with an excellent interface. Even if it is the first time you use it, you will find your way around very quickly and make use of its many features.

It is a fantastic tool used mainly by team members without coding experience. Coding experience is not needed; how awesome is that! So I might need to use more to find some negatives.

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is extremely easy to create or update content with Butter CMS. This means the speed when pushing into production drastically improves, and the team can invest their time in other tasks.

"Amazing Customer Support!"
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

I love how easy it is to use, I was able to learn my way around the platform very quickly and easily. I especially love the Butter Support Team, they have done an amazing job in helping us make big changes that would have taken us forever to do without their help. They always get back to me in a very timely manner which I greatly appreciate. Nikki in particular is so very kind and has been a tremendous help in helping us overcome obstacles.

I have yet to experience anything I don't like about butter. We have been able to accomplish everything we need without any issues.

We have been able to publish our content very easily. We are able to publish Blogs, E-books, Glossary pages, and more! Our team produces a ton of content so butter makes it pleasantly simple to put those together and schedule them out to publish on our site.

"Appreciated using ButterCMS for our website"
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

Our company's experience with ButterCMS was excellent. Our website was hardcoded and we decided to add content and resources long after we originally set it up. It made it so much easier to get started with content and SEO without having to do additional coding. I recommend them to others in a similar situation.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

No complaints. We didn't find anything missing from the product.

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

As above, it made it easier to get started with SEO and content marketing for our site. Our domain authority increased a LOT once we started producing content through ButterCMS.

"As Easy To Use As Butter"
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

It makes sharing blog posts quick and easy! One of my favorite platforms to use for blog posts so far! My favorite thing about ButterCMS is that I can schedule posts to stay on top of all of my tasks. The scheduling out ability that ButterCMS has lets me plan for more content in the future.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

ButterCMS has so many great tools, but one thing that I would like to see changed in ButterCMS is font sizes of header 1 and header 2 to look less alike once the blog is published. Sometimes when I am reading posts all day I have a hard time telling the differences between the header because the sizes seem so close visually.

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can post quality blog content to our website and ButterCMS gives us the ability to have our blogs looks professional and well organized with visual no issues.
