"Butter CMS Brings Unsurpassed Simplicity to Your Website with Effortless Integration"
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

1. Butter CMS requires minimum coding from developers in order to be integrated into existing projects. 2. The interface is straightforward and simple to use, so even non-technical people can manage information with no difficulty. 3. To meet the unique requirements of each user, Butter CMS provides a wide range of configuration choices. 4. Butter CMS was built with speed and dependability in mind, so material can be loaded and modified rapidly. 5. Butter CMS is a flexible content management system that offers reasonable price, making it a good option for new enterprises and those on a tight budget.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

1. Butter CMS's limited feature set in comparison to other content management systems may not be sufficient for more complicated websites. 2. The insufficiency of third-party plugins for Butter CMS may restrict its capacity to meet certain needs. 3. As Butter CMS does not come equipped with its own analytics features, customers will need to rely on a third-party service for this purpose.

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

Butter CMS's user interface is straightforward, so even non-technical people may edit their website's content without much trouble. There's no longer a requirement for highly specialised technical expertise, which can be a significant time and money saver. Butter CMS is very adaptable because of the extensive configuration possibilities it provides. This paves the way for a more tailored and efficient website, which in turn may increase user involvement and yield better outcomes. With its flexible API, Butter CMS may be easily integrated with a broad variety of other systems, saving time and effort for developers. This has the potential to enhance the user experience, cut back on development expenses, and save time. Butter CMS is optimised for speed and reliability, so our site's content will load quickly and we have no trouble making updates. This has the potential to increase user retention and lower bounce rates. Cost-effectiveness: Butter CMS's tiered pricing structure makes it a feasible option for solopreneurs, non-profits, and other organisations with limited budgets. Users may reap the benefits of a robust and versatile platform without having to empty their financial accounts in the process.

"Great entry level CMS"
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

Very user-friendly platform for non-technical people to add, edit, and manage content with minimal training/experience. This was my first time using a CMS and I found it relatively straightforward.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

While this may be just because I was a user of the platform (i.e., not the one who implemented it), there was some confusion about pages vs. posts vs. other content, but that was ultimately sorted out.

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

As a non-technical person, it allowed us to do things like update our user manuals and other website help-text without having to do a full deployment on our site.

"Easy to Use and Implement Headless CMS Solution"
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

We needed a way to host our own blog but also provide non-technical marketing folks with a way to write blogs and publish them to our website autonomously (without the help of our developers/engineers). We looked at different options and ButterCMS was the clear choice for us because of the many integrations offered, the SEO metadata tools/fields, and the affordability. We used ButterCMS for our blog for several years and have had no complaints! The headless CMS integrates with pretty much any tech stack. We used it with Angular and then .NET. Both were fairly easy to implement and they have rich documentation. Regarding blog generation, the interface is effortless and intuitive to use and upload images/GIFs, and add SEO metadata. And their customer support is top-notch and very quick to offer helpful, and friendly answers.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

I find it somewhat difficult to try and think of any shortcomings with ButterCMS but I feel the integrations could still be made easier. If you don't have a developer handy (which we did), then the implementation will likely be difficult. If there was an easier way to integrate—maybe more non-technical like some WordPress plugins are to implement—without losing any SEO benefits that could be an opportunity for improvement. But overall, for our situation, ButterCMS checked all the boxes and provided us with a great CMS tool our marketers could use with ease (after it was all set up).

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

As I mentioned in the 'What I like best' section, We needed a way to host our own blog on a custom-built website through an API-first approach but also provide non-technical marketing folks with a way to write blogs and publish them to our website autonomously (without the help of our developers/engineers). We also needed an image hosting service and an easy way to add SEO meta data to our blogs. Oh yes, and ButterCMS made it easier to migrate over the blogs we had previously hosted on a WordPress subdomain.

"Easy to implement an use."
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

After a fair amount of research, ButterCms ended up being our choice to move forward with a new CMS. The implementation was simple and intuitive, with plenty of documentation for support. I like the simplicity of the user interface, the flexibility to create solutions that are tailored to our needs, and the responsiveness of their team when we have questions. I would highly recommend ButterCms.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

It would be beneficial to have different instances of ButterCms for the different environments (development, staging, production), which is available, but is unusable until there is a simple way to promote or sync one development environment to the next. Perhaps a diff tool that indicates what has changed from one save to the next.

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

We previously used a platform that included a CMS, but it was rigid and made it more difficult to create custom functionality. Using a headless CMS like ButterCms has made the things much more flexible and easy to work with.

"The right balance of usability and flexibility."
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

The time it takes to get content deployed is refreshingly rapid and suits our needs as a rapid innovation team perfectly. Once implemented (the documentation is great)|, the technical team don't need to get involved at all, and the content creators can publish professional-looking material without hindrance.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

While using ButterCMS it would have been great to have had MFA for our logins as an additional layer of protection for our content.

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

We build proposition applications and websites fast so we wanted a lightweight CMS where we can publish content quickly and with as little technical maintenance as possible. ButterCMS fits our specification perfectly.

"An excellent CMS platform with unrivaled customer support"
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

It's easy to manage and teach new team members. Intuitive and if you have any questions, the customer service team responds quickly.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

So far I have not had any problems or something that I do not like; they would only be small improvements.

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

I can't upload posts in bulk. With these minor improvements, Butters can be taken to the next level.

"ButterCMS is a full featured content management system that's easy to set up."
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

We found the pages and collections approach to be great once we got the hang of how to arrange pages for our needs. There are many options on structuring different page elements including repeating or flexible numbers of content items.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

The media library could have used more hierarchy and structure options. Browsing through dozens of images became cumbersome. Having a good naming scheme is critical to make use of searching and filtering features to access media items.

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

ButterCMS allowed for us to concentrate on the content for our website without adding another service for us to host and maintain. The schema ButterCMS uses for accessing the content is also logical. While we need to fit into the kinds of elements it supports, there's enough variety that it could match both static pages and pages with variable, dynamic content on our site.

"Easy to implement as a developer, easy to use for the rest of the team"
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

As a developer, I like the most how easy to understand their API documentation is. Also, the fact it can be implemented in several languages makes it even more helpful. Finally, in case you need it, Customer Support will readily be there to help you, and they have different code examples that can walk you through the implementation process.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

There is nothing I can think of now. If anything, I have not much experience in the UI for writing blog posts so it might seem foreign to me when trying to figure out how to structure blog posts, for example.

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

We use ButterCMS as a tool for non-tech people to write blog posts. Before, the dev team would have to be in charge of adding the blog posts made by the marketing site to the project, which takes time. Now they can upload it themselves, thanks to their UI, and it will be fetched automatically.
