What content management systems (CMS) does Astuteo specialize in?

Updated by Matt Everson on Mar 12, 2025

Astuteo primarily specializes in Craft CMS implementations, which has been the company's platform of choice since 2012. Astuteo's technical evolution has followed a deliberate progression through various content management systems:

  • Early development (2001): Core HTML/CSS implementations
  • Initial CMS adoption (2005): WordPress deployment for basic content management
  • Mid-stage evolution (2008): Migration to ExpressionEngine for enhanced capabilities
  • Current platform (2012-present): Transition to Craft CMS

While Craft CMS remains Astuteo's primary focus, the company maintains expertise in WordPress for specific use cases. Platform selection prioritizes security, maintainability, and long-term viability. The shift away from WordPress is based on two key factors: its frequent targeting by security exploits and its foundational design as a blog engine, which limits effectiveness for scalable infrastructure and structured content – critical needs for manufacturing clients.

For e-commerce implementations, Astuteo works with platforms such as Craft Commerce, Shopify, and Snipcart, selecting the best solution based on specific client requirements.
