Butter CMS Reviews & Product Details

ButterCMS helps to save the time and effort of developers by removing the requirements of making deployments and allowing our marketing teams to make updates to our site quickly. The system has been well developed, making it seamless for developers to create components that non-technical staff can understand and translate into details for our site. The support team has quickly dealt with any issues that have arisen.

Signup was confusing when I accidentally signed up with my account instead of waiting for my company to invite me. The superb support team quickly rectified this!

It removes the requirement of developers to make changes to the site and therefore saving time and effort for developers. Allows marketing teams to make immediate changes to the site and rearrange it as they see fit.

Very responsive customer service. Butter CMS has made me feel like they value feedback and really want to help me succeed with their product. I asked a question, and they responded quickly, made some suggestions, and even arranged a Zoom meeting to discuss my needs in detail. They even decided to implement a feature that I requested, and kept communicating with me through the process. I've never experienced that from a company before. That service builds loyalty, because even if there's a bug or feature that doesn't exist, I have confidence that they will listen to me and try to help me find a solution.

The api is less complete than I was hoping for. (But that's getting better!)

I'm using it to store dynamic content for our app, so we can change lots of things w/o needing to do an app update. The UI is very simple and easy to coordinate with team members

Easy to use content management for blogging.

Photo placement feature. It's a little difficult to see how your photo fits into the posts.

Content management for storytelling and blogging for clients.

Adding content to whatever framework you want is extremely easy with ButterCMS. I am very impressed with this workflow, and will recommend ButterCMS in the future.

There are certain features that are missing that would be desireable, but Nikki from ButterCMS is extremely welcoming on any feature requests, so I feel assured that feedback is listened to and considered.

We were able to create a generalized PageType with a bunch of "components" (writeable data groupings) that can be added to a "page" at will. Through this, we created complementing React components that would render each of these page components and consumed them in a constructor that would then render them in the order added in ButterCMS. This allows us to create any page we want via Butter, and then it will immediately be added to our website.

It was really easy to get started and retrieve some response from the api.

I wish there's a way to get a timestamp of every publish, and the ability to revert back to a specific timestamp to restore previous changes.

We needed an easy way for administrators to update the content w/o needing to push code to our repo, and butter CMS provided that.

It was easy to use and understand, quick. I was thrilled with the website.

I had no issues using this website. Everything was ok.

I used it to do product review surveys for clients

The best thing about Butter is that it's so easy to use. The layout is very simple and easy to navigate. If any problems come up, their team has incredibly fast response times. Nikki was super helpful and friendly.

I have yet to come across a downside with the platform. Any questions I've had were immediately answered on the chat.

Butter allows the company I work for to post blogs on our website. Our company blog is the driving force behind our marketing team. It's great that Butter allows our entire team to be on the same page as far as what is published and what is scheduled.

ButterCMS is easy to use for everything. We built our site on Jekyll, and then we use Butter to interface the editing for every single page. Regardless of the type of page, we can use Butter to interface with it, so our marketers can change the text. Home pages/blog pages/etc. anything. We can easily use the source code feature to write in add-ons such as calendly, or signup forms, so we can even build those kinds of pages easily.

Page limits! We hit the page limit a few times, and had to upgrade. Our strategies are really ambitious though - we're talking 10,000 pages or so. However, in butter's defense, they reached out to give us a special deal on mass-produced pages, and they reached out to offer that without us even asking. So good job guys!

The problem butter solves is it gives marketers the ability to edit webpages made of any design. So it's not only blog pages, but all pages. It also is a great blog editor.

Before ButterCMS we were using Wordpress with the ACF plugin to store data for our marketing website. And our dev team needed to spend a lot of time in WP to create pages, adjust fields and then pull the data through the APIs. What I really like about ButterCMS is that our marketing team managed to really quickly understand and learn ButterCMS and after first setup from the dev team, now they are able to create their own pages and collections without devs involved. Which really saves a lot of time for developer where they can focus on actual development and not content creation. The second part is their APIs which are really easy to understand and use. We were able to pull the data in a couple of minutes without any strange or unexpected results. Would really recommend this CMS to any team who want to quickly and efficiently develop their marketing websites. And their support is top notch!

These are not dislikes but more like "would be nice to have feature" (or wishlist for future development): - can't move content between environments - can't add an existing page to the page type - although you can have multiple workspaces, what I'm missing is pagination on the workspace (some workspace can have a lot of collections) - more content filtering options on the API calls - when updating component in the library, all page which is using that component should be updated (not just pages with the same type) - missing custom fields on the blog posts

We've migrated our marketing website from the Wordpress to ButterCMS as we've realised that by migrating we'll be resolving couple of things: - marketing team will be finally able to create content on their own - we won't need to run separate server to host our files (images, documents, videos) - we won't need to run separate CDN - all data will be in one place (previously some data was in Wordpress while other data was in our CRM)
