Craft CMS has super flexible content modeling capabilities, GraphQL, i18n, a nice permissions system to put content behind a login, database migrations, multi-environment config, and can be extended since it's built atop Yii2 (an obscure but solid MVC framework). There are no themes, you bring your own markup. It has a CLI for common tasks. You'd need to install several plugins to pull this off in WordPress, some of them paid (ACF Pro, etc.). And it's messy because the plugins weren't made to work together. Craft also supports Postgres in addition to MysQL/MariaDB, so that's another difference if you like or need PG. It's more similar in scope to Drupal, but I find the developer and authoring experience much more elegant in Craft. Businesses are happy to pay $299. Both systems use Twig as their templating layer. For reference, content management systems that target the mid-market and enterprise charge $XX,000 and up for licenses. See Sitecore or whatever Adobe is shilling these days. There are hundreds of CMS options out there, lots of interesting approaches to choose from. Strapi and other headless JS-driven options are the current rage. Source: I'm in the Craft pro network but have built 50+ WordPress sites as well. Prior to that I used ExpressionEngine, Textpattern, and Movable Type. Been around the block! |
