Why can't updating my website be more like a trip to the spa?
You want a website that best reflects your organization—that means one that is up-to-date! Except somehow, updating your website feels less like a trip to the spa and more like a schlep to Ikea on a Saturday in August.
Craft CMSBlog
Does this sound painfully familiar to you? Enter Craft CMS and the spa-like experience.
When we build you a website, we want you to have complete control and we want updates to be easy and fun for your staff. Whether you’re a library, academic institution or consortium, this is why we love and use Craft—a content management system that feels like a trip to the spa—for you and for your website.
Are you unable to make changes to your website because you don’t know HTML or CSS?
With Craft, no knowledge of HTML is needed making for a simple editing experience.
Are you running an old version of your CMS because of a plugin that’s now defunct?
If your site was built incorporating a specific plugin, and those plugins haven’t been updated, it means your site is stuck in the dark ages. Craft is not dependent on plugins; all the functionality you need is native to Craft, meaning you’ll never have to purchase or rely on third-party plugins.
Do you feel limited by what kind of content you can add and your options for where to add it?
With Craft, you can drag and drop all kinds of content including text, video, photos, quotes and more—wherever you want—to look exactly how you want. You have a vast amount of freedom for a flexible and empowering experience.
Does editing images take forever and cause you stress?
Most CMSs don’t allow you to edit images in the editor itself. Craft does. And it’s so simple. Crop, rotate, flip or resize images without opening Photoshop.
Afraid you’ll break something?
Fear not! With Craft, you can’t access templates or style sheets—plus, the state-of-the-art live preview feature shows you exactly what the the page will look—in real time, before you publish it, so you can’t mess it up.
Live in fear of being hacked?
If your site has been hacked before, you know what a potentially-disastrous situation it is. WordPress is the Microsoft of CMSs and accordingly, is a huge target for hackers. It’s reliance on third-party plugins can also put your site at risk. Craft CMS has no such dependencies. This is why numerous corporations, government and financial institutions use it. Since 2012, Craft sites have only had 8 minor security issues while WP has had over 1500.
Want to know you’re doing a good job with SEO?
Craft makes it easy. By creating important SEO fields and populating them with relevant keywords and terms, Craft automatically makes your site more findable by search engines. Want to go above and beyond with SEO? Craft makes that easy, too. Moz, the leading expert in SEO has chosen Craft for their own site—enough said!
We want updating your website to be a pleasure! Just like a trip to the spa.
Gratifying. Soothing. Relaxing. Fun. Stress-free. Calming. Pleasant.
Imagine if these were words you could use to describe your website-updating experience. They can be! With its clean, elegant interface, making updates via Craft is truly like a trip to the spa.
Can you smell the eucalyptus? Inhale. Now, exhale.
Together, we can make your website a fount of relaxation and enjoyment.
Let’s work together
You deserve a confident, enjoyable experience updating your website. And your users deserve the most up-to-date information. We can help you achieve both. To talk about how Craft could work for your organization please contact us.

Jim and his team responded quickly to all suggestions and exceeded expectations on all fronts. The team at Clearpeak worked with us to completely redesign and modernize our website in a way that is user friendly and does all the we require and more! We now have a site that is easy to navigate, mobile-friendly, and customizable for whatever may come.Nicole Piermarini, Acting Director, Leominster Public Library
Jim and his team responded quickly to all suggestions and exceeded expectations on all fronts. No request was too big or too small. They’ve even worked with us after the project was completed to provide additional support as needed. We highly recommend them!
Our site was a mess! Jim and his team came in and walked us through the process of completely rethinking our site. Now we have a very logical, clean and well-utilized site that is the ‘go to’ place to find out anything and everything about our research alliance. This was super important since our enterprise covers several institutions, academia (Emory and GeorgiaTech) and a private non-profit hospital (Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta).Barbara W. Kilbourne, RN, MPH, Manager, Business Operations, Atlanta Pediatric Research Alliance
Working with Clearpeak was great! They were very flexible and patient when our project took longer than planned. Their work was meticulous and they were great communicators. We highly recommend them!Ben Hires, Director of Programs, Boston Children's Chorus
We couldn’t be happier. Clearpeak understood exactly what we needed for our site redesign. The new design is clean, accessible, and user-friendly. Clearpeak is easy to work with and quick to respond to questions and requests. We couldn’t be happier.Madeline Bergstrom, Assistant Director of Marketing and Communications, Landmark College
Our sincere thanks to Jim and his team! Working with Jim and his team from Clearpeak on the redesign of the Westwood Public Library's website has been a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Jim's technical expertise and understanding of public libraries were invaluable as we navigated new territory with the redesign of the library's website. Jim and his team are collaborative, responsive and knowledgeable, and their guidance and support enabled us to successfully launch our new Westwood Public Library website.Tricia Perry, Director, Westwood Public Library
The site looks great and works perfectly on both desktop and mobile. The Clearpeak team worked with us to design a site that is visually appealing, user-friendly and includes all of the functionality we required. Content is easy for our non-technical staff to create and update, and easy for our users to navigate. It was a pleasure to work with a team that was efficient and responsive throughout the entire design and launch process.Susan Paju, Head of Reference, Acton Memorial Library
Visits have skyrocketed! Our Library's website design committee consisted of several people, including volunteers, who had a variety of skills. Jim patiently demonstrated and trained the group to have appropriate levels of hands-on or administrative authority. Jim managed everyone at their level. Throughout the website's design, each member of our committee wanted to create a superior website and continually sent Jim suggestions, ideas and revisions. He acted quickly on each of these, guided us, and understood our goal. We couldn't be happier with the result and continue to receive praise for the appeal and content of our website.Elizabeth Johnston, Director, Sherborn Library
Jim Woodman and his team at Clearpeak are a pleasure to work with. We have hired Clearpeak to work on multiple website development projects. Every time, they deliver great front-end designs as well as high-quality back-end coding.Steve Collins, President, Webb Communications, Inc.
The Content Management System work that Clearpeak has done on each site has also been excellent — making it easy to keep site content updated.
I would highly recommend Clearpeak to any organization looking for a highly-experienced interactive agency capable of delivering great work.
Our new website is so much faster and easier to work with. The time it takes to update a page has been cut in half and we have so many more editing options at our fingertips. We’ve had a great experience working with the Clearpeak team and they’ve responded immediately to any requests we’ve had.Carly (Doyle) Allen, Communications Manager, The Northeast ALS Consortium (NEALS)
