Pixel & Tonic launched Craft, a content management system, in 2013. Craft is a versatile, user-friendly CMS for building personalized digital experiences for the web and beyond. Craft is a PHP program that can connect to MySQL and PostgreSQL to save content.
This software program allows users to manage the creation and editing of their digital content. Craft, being a blank canvas, prioritizes content.
An easy-to-use control panel for content development and administrative operations. A fresh start to content modeling and front-end development that makes no assumptions about your material or how it should be consumed.
TakeShape is a Content Management-as-a-Service cloud platform with an integrated Static Content Generator that prioritizes GraphQL APIs and eliminates the expense and difficulty of creating and maintaining a cloud-scale content experience.
Basically, TakeShape is not your typical headless CMS. It is an API mesh solution that enables you to set up a hosted GraphQL API that unites all of your services and data into a single endpoint along with your content.
