Great, extendable CMS platform

What do you like best? Very powerful CMS functionality. Plugin architecture allows for extensive customisation and integration. Good admin UI which is relatively easy to train non technical users to use. What do you dislike? While decent documentation exists for how to use and extend the product, core functionality (i.e. the guts of how the system works is not. This means that when something is not working as intended (esp. when extending and overriding core functionality it can ...

Mura is awesome!

What do you like best? Awesome out of the box, yet easy to customize. Themes and plug-ins are easy to implement. Customers are not intimidated by the interface and can update content easily. The Blue River team is great to work with if you need help and their conferences are always very informative. I always come away with a renewed energy to get more clients using Mura - I have three additional clients using it since the last MuraCon (Feb 2016). Yay! Hosting providers (especially Hostek) ...

Installed many instances of Mura and developed plugins for Mura using ColdFusion

What do you like best? It's very easy to install and get up and running, especially if your hosting company offers a one-click install option. What do you dislike? Sometimes when upgrading from one version to another there are glitches. As with any CMS, you should backup the site files and database prior to performing an upgrade. Recommendations to others considering the product: Try it, you'll like it. It's super easy to install and has alot of feature built-in. What problems ...

We use MURA for all of our websites and have been very pleased with it.

What do you like best? MURA is extremely flexible, allows for extensive customization and is easy for less technical savvy users to use. With many of our pages data driven, we have leveraged MURA's ability to customize pages to streamline data display for hundreds of pages, each set with unique requirements. We have not yet found something a user requested that we were unable to do. With the ability to customize the administration screens for the user we have created functionality such as ...

Mura CMS in the government, non-profit, and corporate spheres

What do you like best? From a content manager's perspective, Mura is very simple to use, and yet has everything needed to build and maintain more intricate content, such as forms, galleries, calendars, right out of the box. As a designer, I like that Mura is integrated with Bootstrap, jQuery, LESS. As a developer, I like that Mura is open source and built in the powerful CFML language. As a manager, I like that Mura is free, as is the database (MySQL) and engine (Lucee) I run it on. The ...

Powerfull CMS for large, medium or even small websites

What do you like best? I liked the fact that Mura can be used as a full-blown enterprise CMS as well as a CMS for small websites. You can disable or hide some features for your users or content managers that you don't need, this way you can create a 'light' admin UI for users that doesn't need all bells and whistles. In addition to many features that Mura already offers, I like the "one-click" update button to stay up-to-date with the latest version. What do you dislike? Maybe the fact ...
