Butter CMS Reviews & Product Details

It has a super clean interface, it is easy to use, easy to customise, and just generally ideal. It takes me very little time to create blogs that are very high quality. That's not because I am in any way good at content. Butter just makes everything come together and look great with little effort.

So far, nothing. If I ever have even the smallest concern, I can ping in livechat and get a solid response within minutes. I'm halfway round the planet, and I still get ridiculously good support from the butter team.

It means we can have a powerful, gorgeous blog without spending a tonne on it. It is fantastic for SEO and highly optimised cross-platform, making it the ideal tool for pretty much anyone.

Butter CMS is very easy to install and use, for the developer and content editor. It only took about an hour to fully integrate Butter into my Next.js/React app. The editor is easy and has just enough formatting options to make it powerful, but not so many options as to introduce headache for coordinating with the CSS in my app. Uploading media is easy. Interface and feel are a million times better than WordPress.

Very few complaints. I have asked for image metadata to be available.

I chose Butter because it allows us to easily manage a blog within the context of a custom app of our choice. Butter was the cleanest and easiest of the options I explored.

We were initially attracted to ButterCMS because they seemed to understand the needs of the RoR community with plenty of good, concise documentation. I love that they roll out new enhancements and features often and respond to feature requests. I emailed supporting asking if I could use HTML snippets inside ButterCMS pages and Jake at Butter actually took the time to create a custom screencast just for me!

I really can't think of anything that I dislike about ButterCMS.

This was our first CMS system so we wanted other, non-HTML types, to be able to contribute and update content without knowing how to write code.

Service & support were absolutely excellent!

We're using ButterCMS as a headless CMS for our website and web application. It could not have been a better fit. Before introducing ButterCMS to my team, they believed there was no such thing as a 'headless CMS'.

If you are doing a modern site or app (node, Angular, React, Vue etc) ButterCMS allows content to be updated without pushing a new build. It is your backend plus an easy interface that even marketing people can figure out. Think of a field value, and Butter lets it be updated externally by others so you don't have to. All their stupid spelling mistakes and content updates can proceed 24/7 without you even knowing. A huge huge benefit for s since we wanted to run an all-Angular shop from products to website. Documentation is complete with clear examples.

This has all been fixed but at first the interface was difficult to understand. There was some jargon like "Workspaces" that took time to visualize.

Everyone can access the site and update content without bothering engineering. They can push immediate updates that get our message out there instantly.

With some easy building blocks like collections, relationships, and basic content fields, you can make about content types that can fit any client. Super easy to use even easier to install. I used Rails to install a blog and their Custom Pages and Fields Their customer service is great. I always work late but they'll message me before 7am with any question I had the night before.

The image loader can be annoying sometimes, there's a lapse in UI since they're using a third party uploader.

I am able to build a website for my client that gives them the ability to easily update their own website and keep it organized.

Using Blog Engine Class Objects is easy to integrate into my ASP.NET code. The documentation provided information about each class object and its attributes. In comparison to other headless CMS products I have tried to integrate with that used complex JSON structures, this one was the most simplest. I created the site and integrated it with the CMS in less than a day.

Pricing for non-personal sites is high. However, if you are building for a personal site, contact their sales team and they will grant you access to a personal plan for free, with a few links on your site.

For a simply blog, it provides a easy to integrate tool for the developer, and an editorial tool that is not as complicated for the author. I have worked with individuals that are looking for a simply interface to enter content without a huge learning curve. ButterCMS provides this. I use ASP.NET to integrate the content into my web template, so all I had to do was load the reference, call the appropriate class object and match up the attributes. There was even an IEnumerable interface that fed into a DataTable to connect to my data-type controls. I had to create a blog for my Master's thesis project, and was able to do it within a few hours.

Coming from a Drupal background, setting up my content was very easy. Probably the easiest thing, though, was how easy it was to get my Vuejs app up and running. I just cloned their sample app, added my info in, implemented my custom Bulma template, and I was up and running.

There's not much to dislike. If I had to pick a nit, when in the UI, even when you are logged in, the main nav still shows the "Log In" link.

Launching my website with a Vuejs front end, this provided me with a simple-to-use back end for my data.

I work as a senior developer for a digital agency and have trialled many different CMS, especially headless CMS recently. Of them all ButterCMS was - by a long margin - the easiest to get up and running with. It took me just under 6 hours from start to finish to build my blogging site (using .NET Core 2.0 MVC), including the time to register for hosting and write my first blog.

The wysiwyg editor could be better. I'd personally prefer a markdown option. Overall though, it provides everything needed for a blog.

Speed of development has to be #1. No more fighting with silly ID's or spending hours trying to figure out how to make routing work with odd identifiers. Butter CMS uses the url slug as the identifier which makes routing in my application a breeze.

The UI to manage content is very simple to use by Content Managers. Content Managers and Administrators can easily manage blog posts, content fields, page types, pages, media library and internationalization. The ButterCMS support and engineering teams are great; they offered us a lot of help to support different requirements for our Customer, including the development of new improvements and features which was extremely useful for the success of the implementation project. The API and documentation are very complete and easy to integrate from different programming languages, in our case we integrated ButterCMS into a Rails 5 application, and the experience for developers was very simple. The performance and scalability of the API are great, we executed performance tests with more than 12.000 requests per minute, and the API worked without latency problems.

When we started to use ButterCMS there were some UI improvements Content Managers identified, however once we sent the improvement list to the Support Team, they implemented different improvements providing a great experience for us and our Customer.

We implemented ButterCMS on an Enterprise Website for one of our Customers that wanted to migrate from a commercial and traditional CMS solution. The website has a lot of pages with different templates, it is available in three languages, and it is deployed on Heroku Salesforce. The main business benefits for the Customer are: * Easy to manage content by Content Manager and Developers. * Flexibility to model different types of content (products, services, pages, FAQs, terms and conditions, landing pages, etc.) * Ability to configure fields for SEO and social networks. * Agility and easy to integrate Content from different applications (web and mobile) using the API. * Reduce the load time for pages, improving the user experience, improving SEO, increasing page views, and generating more leads for sales teams. * Very easy to integrate for Heroku applications using the ButterCMS Add-on. * Cost saving due to the ButterCMS takes care of all the infrastructure maintenance and operation.
