The system, built on a PHP framework called Yii, is developed by Pixel & Tonic along with a dedicated developer community, albeit significantly smaller than that of WordPress. Craft’s market share is notably smaller, currently under 1%, a figure that, when compared to WordPress, is on par with more established CMS platforms like Drupal or Joomla.
Despite its relatively modest market presence, Craft frequently appears on lists highlighting the best WordPress alternatives. It was recently chosen by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) as the CMS for its new website version, as detailed in the CMS Selection Report (https://w3c.studio24.net/docs/cms-selection-report). Notable companies utilizing this system include Microsoft, Apple, Reddit, Adobe, BigCommerce, Netflix, Ikea, AT&T, McDonald’s, and Dell.
Craft provides users with complete control over their website’s appearance, functionality, and content. It caters to all types of websites, regardless of their size, offering versatile design options that are fully customizable.

Web UX design at Smultron Web Development is an extensive and meticulously planned process. Our workflow encompasses several vital stages, beginning with an in-depth briefing. During this phase, we collect requirements, analyze functionalities, identify the target audience, and acknowledge any potential project constraints.
Following the briefing, our team conducts a thorough analysis of the requirements. This involves meetings with the client, competitor analysis, planning the website’s structure, prototyping, and client review of the completed wireframes, culminating in the graphic design phase. A key focus during the UX design stage is on the content hierarchy, navigation, and user pathways, all tailored to align with the client’s business objectives and the needs of their users.
Throughout this process, we emphasize the creation of user-centric designs, adhering to UX best practices.
