WordPress is often the better fit for fast, low-budget projects that need ready-made themes or a large plugin ecosystem. For Perth schools, NFPs and healthcare practices, the website is often part of public trust. It needs to help people find the right information, understand the organisation, take the next step, and feel confident they are dealing with a capable team. A school communications coordinator three years from now should be able to update the website without needing the memory of someone who left two years ago. That is the ownership case for Craft. This approach suits organisations that need a website to last: schools managing public trust and enrolment processes, NFPs keeping programme information current, healthcare practices whose content needs to be accurate and accessible, and professional services firms whose whole team needs to use the site without a developer on call.

Craft CMS gives your organisation a website that can keep pace with real operational change. Content can grow, teams can change, services can shift, and the site still remains understandable to the people responsible for it. 01 ### **Ownership of the team controls** Your organisation gets a properly owned website: code, database, credentials, configuration, and hosting access. That protects continuity if people, suppliers, or the site change. ![Go New Zealand }}](https://remedystudio.com.au/assets/uploads/images/GoNewZealand.jpg) ![Go New Zealand](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhwgEBAPAAAP///yZFySH5BAEAAAEALAAAAADCAQEAAAIThI+py+0Po5y02ouz3rz7D4ZTAQA7) 02 ### **A CMS shaped around the team** Your organisation gets an editing system built around how its team works, so staff can manage content with confidence and reduce internal bottlenecks. Fields use plain language. Sections are named for the content they contain. Permissions are matched to real roles. New staff should be able to learn the system quickly without needing a developer to explain where everything lives. ![REMEDYNOV2521 }}](https://remedystudio.com.au/assets/uploads/images/REMEDYNOV2521.jpg) ![REMEDYNOV2521](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhwgEBAPAAAP///yZFySH5BAEAAAEALAAAAADCAQEAAAIThI+py+0Po5y02ouz3rz7D4ZTAQA7) 03 ### **Accessibility that strengthens public trust** WCAG 2.2 AA is built into the site from the start, so your organisation can show that access, inclusion and public responsibility have been considered before anyone has to question it. That matters for schools meeting access obligations, NFPs reaching the people they serve, healthcare practices supporting patients, and any organisation whose website needs to be usable by more than the easiest audience. ![Trillion Trees 1 }}](https://remedystudio.com.au/assets/uploads/images/TrillionTrees-1.png) ![Trillion Trees 1](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhwgEBAPAAAP///yZFySH5BAEAAAEALAAAAADCAQEAAAIThI+py+0Po5y02ouz3rz7D4ZTAQA7) 04 ### **A website that ages well** Your organisation gets a website with fewer moving parts, fewer plugin dependencies, and a clearer path for future maintenance. A lean Craft build reduces the maintenance drag that builds up when a website depends on too many plugins, themes, patches and disconnected tools. That helps the site remain stable, understandable and worth improving over time. ![REMEDYNOV2538 }}](https://remedystudio.com.au/assets/uploads/images/RemedyPhotos2025/REMEDYNOV2538.jpg) ![REMEDYNOV2538](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhwgEBAPAAAP///yZFySH5BAEAAAEALAAAAADCAQEAAAIThI+py+0Po5y02ouz3rz7D4ZTAQA7) **CRAFT CMS features** ### What is included in every Craft CMS website? Every Remedy Craft CMS build is designed to leave the organisation with a website it can use, explain to others, and keep improving after launch. The table below covers what gets built and what that means for the organisation over time. ### Custom content modelling A CMS structured around the team's editorial workflow rather than a generic template ### Plain-language field labels An editing interface staff understand without translation or a developer call ### Content block library Editors build pages from defined, accessible components without risk of breaking the design ### Role-based permissions Different staff types see only what they need to manage, with approvals where they matter ### WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility A site meeting accessibility standards from launch rather than failing a post-launch audit ### Custom templates and clean front-end code A codebase any competent Craft developer can read and continue, with no reliance on one builder ### Configured admin training A team that finishes the launch session able to manage everyday updates internally ### Documentation and handover A reference for future staff that does not depend on memory of who built the site [ Find out more about our website projects ](https://remedystudio.com.au/services/web-design-perth) **how it works** ### How does a Craft CMS project run? A Craft CMS project at Remedy is structured so your organisation finishes with more than a launched website. You get a clear content model, a trained team, documented decisions, and a site that can keep supporting the work after launch. 01 ### Strategy and architecture The project starts with the decisions that shape the website: sitemap, audience journeys, content model and SEO architecture. This prevents the CMS from being built around guesses. Your organisation gets a clearer structure before design and development begin, making internal approval easier and reducing costly rework later. 02 ### Craft CMS configuration Fields, sections, permissions, content blocks and editing flows are configured around the agreed content model. The admin area is built for the people who will use it, so the website does not depend on one confident staff member or a set of undocumented workarounds. 03 ### Front-end development The public website is built to the agreed visual direction, with accessibility built into the code from the start. That gives the organisation a site that presents well, works properly for more people, and carries fewer quality risks into launch. 04 ### Content load and CMS training The team loads content into the CMS during supported training. This means staff are learning on the real website, with the real content they will manage after launch. The organisation leaves the team with practical capability. 05 ### Launch and handover The site launches on the organisation's infrastructure. Credentials, documentation and the strategy document are handed over, so the organisation has control of the site and a clear record of how it was built. ![Arbor }}](https://remedystudio.com.au/assets/uploads/images/Arbor.jpg) ![Arbor](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhwgEBAPAAAP///yZFySH5BAEAAAEALAAAAADCAQEAAAIThI+py+0Po5y02ouz3rz7D4ZTAQA7) --- **Frequently asked questions about Craft CMS** ### **What is Craft CMS?** Craft CMS is a content management system built around custom content modelling: fields, editing sections and permissions are configured from scratch for each project rather than starting from a generic template. It is used by organisations from small NFPs to global brands, including Netflix, Atlassian and the W3C, and is commercially licensed and maintained by Pixel & Tonic. ### **Is Craft CMS free?** Craft CMS has three licence tiers: Solo (free, single-user sites), Team (paid, up to five users) and Pro (paid, unlimited users and advanced permissions). For organisations with multiple content editors, the Pro tier is standard. The licence is a one-time project cost rather than a recurring subscription. Current pricing is on the Craft CMS website. ### **How difficult is Craft CMS for non-technical staff?** Difficulty depends on how the CMS is configured. A well-configured Craft site has field labels in plain language, editing sections structured around what the organisation manages, and a content block system for building pages without design or code knowledge. Most staff manage content independently after the launch training session. ### **Can Remedy work with a Craft CMS site built by another agency?** Yes. Remedy can audit, support, upgrade and rebuild existing Craft installations. This includes version upgrades from Craft 3 or 4 to Craft 5, plugin reviews, hosting migrations, accessibility audits and full rebuilds where the original content model no longer suits the organisation. ### **Who leads Craft CMS builds at Remedy?** Craft builds at Remedy are led by a technical lead with over nine years of dedicated Craft CMS experience. Builds follow a consistent, documented structure, with no themes or page builders, using custom templates and a utility-first CSS approach. Any competent Craft developer can work on the codebase, keeping the site maintainable without relying on a single person. ## Start with a conversation.
