What is Craft CMS?
Craft CMS is a modern content management system designed for flexibility, performance, and developer control. Unlike off-the-shelf platforms, Craft CMS allows us to build websites around your exact requirements—without compromise.
- Fully custom content structures
- Clean, intuitive editing experience
- No unnecessary plugins or bloat
- Built with performance and security in mind
Another very popular content management system is WordPress. As a longtime official Craft CMS Development Partner, our preference is Craft.

- Flexible content modelling
- Excellent editor experience
- Strong security record
- Fast page performance
- SEO-friendly architecture
- Scalable for complex websites and applications
- No unnecessary plugin bloat

Craft CMS FAQ
It depends on your needs, but Craft CMS is often a better choice for businesses that want flexibility, performance and security without relying on plugins or themes.
Unlike WordPress, Craft is built for custom development from the ground up, which means faster, cleaner websites that are easier to maintain and optimise for search engines. Read Craft CMS vs WordPress: Which Is Better in 2026?
Costs can vary significantly depending on the scope of the project, from simple brochure websites through to more complex, bespoke builds. We’ll always provide a tailored quote based on your goals, ensuring you only pay for what you actually need—nothing more, nothing less.
You certainly can, and this is something DesignKarma has done several times before.
Absolutely—we offer ongoing support plans that include hosting, updates, security patching and development time each month. This ensures your website stays fast, secure and up to date, without you having to worry about the technical side.
It's not essential, but it is highly recommended. To keep your Craft CMS website secure and performing at its' best, you should consider our ongoing support plans.
Well obviously it depends on lots of things. But in our experience, most of our Craft CMS websites take between 4–6 weeks from start to launch, depending on the size of the project and how quickly content is supplied. We keep the process simple and transparent, with clear milestones so you always know what’s happening and when.
Working with a specialist Craft CMS agency means your website is built properly from the start—avoiding messy, bloated code, or unnecessary plugins. We focus on performance, clean code and long-term maintainability, so your website not only looks good, but continues to deliver results over time.
Why work with a specialist Craft CMS agency?
Craft CMS is powerful—but it needs to be implemented properly. As a dedicated Craft CMS agency, we bring:
- Deep experience with Craft CMS architecture and development
- A focus on performance, usability, and long-term maintainability
- Clean, structured builds that are easy to manage and extend
- A collaborative, straightforward way of working
We don’t just build websites—we create platforms that support your business over time.
Why choose DesignKarma as your Craft CMS agency?
Not all Craft CMS agencies are the same. Some focus purely on development. Others outsource technical work or specialise in design but have limited experience maintaining complex websites after launch.
DesignKarma combines technical expertise with practical business experience.
When you work with us, you'll deal directly with an experienced developer throughout your project. There are no account managers, junior developers or outsourced teams standing between you and the people building your website.
As well as Craft CMS development, we provide:
- Technical SEO
- Cloud hosting
- Performance optimisation
- Ongoing support and maintenance
- Custom plugin development
- Website audits and consultancy
This allows us to support your website throughout its entire lifecycle, not just during the initial build.
Who is Craft CMS for?
Craft CMS is particularly well-suited to:
- Businesses that need a fully customised website
- Content-heavy websites with complex structures
- Organisations looking to move beyond template-based platforms
- Teams that want full control over their content
If your website is central to your business, Craft CMS is a strong foundation.
