Butter CMS Reviews & Product Details

Butter was easy to use and implement. I was looking to ship something quick and Butter definitely didn't disappoint!

We haven't found anything we dislike yet.

Replaced our custom CMS. Saved me a bunch of work. Increased our app performance.

Easy to use, amazing support team that are fast and reliable.

User management is a little clunky, but workable.

Butter CMS has really helped us manage our blog content in a consistent, reliable fashion.

ButterCMS is very useful in giving us the flexibility to create a website exactly to our liking through code, while still allowing the content to be edited without the need to know how to write code. I also appreciate the great customer support that is received when we have questions or issues.

there is nothing I do not like about ButterCMS

We are able to make changes to our website without having to always ask a developer to make the changes for us

The ability to publish, manage or update content without the help of our engineering team. Great documentation and customer support. Overall, great value at a great price.

Implementation is still a bit too technical for me to really say, with authority, that I dislike anything.

Removing the need for a WordPress blog and a redirect. Our ultimate goal was to gain the SEO benefits of having all keyword-rich content on our domain and Butter helped us do it with ease.

Documentation and customer support. Jake has responded quickly both times I had questions. The documentation is clear for just about any modern tech stack.

We were initially hesitant if Butter would work with our use case (a custom blog with specific routes, css, etc.) and nearly switched to WordPress because we determined we wouldn't be able to use the 300 blog posts included in the startup tier; however, after speaking with Jake, he informed us that we can do what we needed with the Page Types feature. I think they were able to work with us on the pricing given our particular situation. I think maybe adding a pricing tier that favors pages instead of blog posts would help those in a similar situation as us reach a decision. We are very glad to have reached out to the Butter Support team in retrospect.

SEO, hot swapping content, reusability within our own web application.

Butter CMS for our purposes is a robust CMS. We have a very deep tech team and really only use Butter CMS as a repository for our posts. There are other features that I would encourage our Marketing team to take advantage of, like collections and pages.

It would be nice to retrieve posts using multiple tags.

We have multiple sites that use similar posts. We are using tagging to indicate which sites the posts should appear on.

Ease of use: once implemented, we can add, update and remove pages and components easily. Customer support has also been outstanding.

The structure of pages and components is not entirely intuitive.

ButterCMS allows us to rapidly change our public website without coding. This allows well-trained users in sales/marketing and other departments to make their own changes without significant IT time being spent.

It is a simple CMS that makes learning and getting going easy. Training needed is minimal, so getting new team mates on board is always a breeze.

The search feature can be improved. How past blog posts are displayed can be improved. It is fundamental at the moment.

Butter helps us maintain our blog. Publishing and updating is taken care of through Butter. It helps improve the rate of publishing and ease of maintainenance.

Butter has a lot of potential to take the CMS market by storm. The platform is very versatile and powerful, but the team at Butter is what makes it great. They are responsive and very committed to making their product great and are always making sure their clients have the best experience by making continual improvements and actually listening to customer needs.

It's excellent for developers but not the greatest for designers. There is no WYSIWYG integration and code can often be trickier to implement than it should be. Though there are workarounds, it feels like there are some missing tools that could make the process smoother.

Butter has given us the ability to leverage aspects of our online presence that we struggled with before. For example, we have developed a much more robust UI experience by leveraging components for stronger customer traction.

Great UI and easy to manage different websites and formats all n on location.

Ability to add functionality from one site to another without getting development team involved

Being able to quickly adapt and augment our content needs across numerous websites .

As an engineering leader, I'm most concerned about the technical effort required to implement tools. Butter was dead-simple - set it up, grab the API key, and call their endpoints when needed.

The only tricky thing was a minor issue; we wanted to be able to filter/search all of our posts/content or grab all of the headers so we could display a "home page" for our blog, but they didn't have that ability at the time. It might have been implemented since, but it was performant enough to load all of our content simultaneously.

If you're looking for a simple, lightweight, cost-effective CRM for a small-medium size business, Butter is it. We tried a few others and they were either way too heavy/complicated or didn't have basic features.

The UI is quite intuitive, clear, and neat. Customer support is beneficial and friendly. APIs such as 'write' and 'image' are helpful. The preview feature is pretty cool. There was a solution for every feature we wanted to implement.

Butter CMS is alright in every way. Having a root preview URL without slugs is something that can be nice.

Easy content management with control of meta description and SEO. Managing icons from one source. Having a preview of the data before actually integrating it.

As a developer, working with a headless CMS has been great. I haven't had any issues with performance or reliability, and customer service has been incredibly helpful.

There are a few additional features that would be nice, but in my experience with a few other CMS options, Butter isn't behind the times at all.

We have multiple places on our site that require somewhat frequent content changes. These would be a pain in the butt for me, as a developer, to maintain. With Butter, I was able to set up those pages so that my non-tech team can be in complete control of the content.

As a developer, I used butter as a CMS to integrate with a Ruby/Jekyll stack. The documentation was easy enough to follow and the content comes in an easy to manipulate format. This made it great to fully customise the pages I was working on. It made it a lot easier to create new style of pages with great content. As a content creator, Butter is great and super easy to use to create website pages, blog posts and also update pre-existing content. The non-technical people I worked with found it a breeze to learn and use.

I think I would have liked more documentation into how to integrate at the beginning. There was a little bit to figure out. When I would research, I would find many blog articles from Butter explaining about "being able" to do these things, but not so much as to "how".

Definitely getting non technical people, able to create content on the website, without having to use confusing applications or even dive into the code itself. The Auto-updates from an API driven solution is also a plus.

Easy to use. Nice UI. Lots of features. Ability to create reusable components.

Moving content and schemas between staging and production has to be done manually.

We are using it as our content and cdn for assets for our production application. It makes it very easy to make updates to our websites.
