Win an eCommerce and Discussions Package from concrete5!
By Brant Wilson | Published July 6th, 2010 in Resourcesconcrete5 has offered to give away an eCommerce license and a Discussions license to the DesignM.ag crowd. The value of this giveaway is $145.
What is concrete5?
concrete5 is an extremely user friendly content management system. Content management systems (CMS) make life easier for the not so technical website owner. Even if you have technical skills a good CMS can save you a lot of time and energy. If you are operating a website of any size in the year 2010 a good CMS is critical. A couple of years ago our friend Jacob Gube over at Six Revisions had a post entitled 10 Promising Content Management Systems which identified concrete5 as a solid CMS. It has been a couple of years since that post and the user experience has only gotten better.
So, if you are interested in winning a free eCommerce and Discussions license please comment on the post to win. Here are some sneak peeks at this great CMS.
Here is a screen shot of the eCommerce backend. The backend allows you to create products, place them on a page, and group them in many different ways.
Any good CMS has a lot of support. The Discussions section has already answered pretty much every question you can think of. However, if you are having problems the nice people over at concrete5 are there to help answer all your questions.
Here is a video that gives some more details about the concrete5 system and how it will help make running your website a breeze.
Please comment on this post to enter the giveaway. We will announce the winner on Friday. Good luck!

I love c5, so this is a very welcome giveaway
Great site, free is good.
I’ve been looking for the perfect e-commerce CMS for a while – this looks brilliant and just what I’d need!
Good luck to everyone
I use concrete5 on two of my sites…. that ecommerce solution sounds good!
This would fit my eCommerce needs perfectly.
This looks like a very promising cms and I would love to get my hands on a copy
I’m building a few sites in c5 and am having a ball – it’s fast, intuitive and you don’t need serious coding knowledge to build something very powerful. Highly recommended!
From the looks of those sneak peeks, it appears its extremely easy to sell ducks through their CMS. I’ve been looking for a duck-friendly CMS for a while now! I hope I win.
I really love this cms. Easily customizable like a framework but ready to work out or the box
Right now we are preparing a small introduction for next Web Monday in Stuttgart/Germany. Hope we can get this started soon, to spread the love for concrete5.
Would be nice to win the ecommerce license.
This is such an awesome give-a-way. I hope to win.
Looks like an great CMS package – perfect for my start up company! Thanks for hosting this contest!
I have been working with Concrete5 for 1.5 years and I absolutely love it!
Concrete5 is a really good CMS. This is a really good give-away!!
C5 is a great CMS. Easy to use and easy to develop with. Check check.
Amazing give away, Concrete5 is an great CMS, pretty much every site I’ve build in the last 18 months has been in it.

“If you are operating a website of any size in the year 2010 a good CMS is critical.”
I disagree. For small, static websites, I find that hand-coding everything on top of a PHP framework is much easier.
However, for larger websites, CMSs make things much easier. And in the case of forums and eCommerce websites, CMSs are necessary.
Anyways, I hope I win a prize!
I’d *love* to win this!
Cool
Btw, new template for page list thumbview template concrete5 package available.

Nice giveaway! I love the opensource CMS solutions!
I do not know that: is any chance using concrete5 better than Wordpress powered site?
This is great! I just finished a website and I need to add an ecommerce package.
This would be really nice to win! This software looks great!
What a great prize! I’ve been using concrete5 for about 2 years now and it’s by far the best CMS out there!
I am always looking for a great CMS solution. Thanks!
Looks very interesting.
Would love to win this as I am currently looking for an ecommerce CMS solution.
I’m in, great giveaway! Love it!
I’m currently about to try out Magento – I wonder how this will compare!
Thanks! Love DESIGNM.AG and I’m a fan of concrete5. I was checking out the Discussions add-on a couple of weeks ago and absolutely loved its promoted features. Definitely a very versatile forums approach. I would definitively suggest for everybody to consider concrete5 for their web projects.
Fingers crossed. Good luck everyone.
wonderful article very helpful indeed.
Awesome.
I must win!

Let me say that concrete5 is ’straat’, even when I’m fishing behind the nets
Great for your kindly giving this information
Would love to use/try this for one of my clients! This CMS looks great!
I’ve been developing with C5 for a while now. it’s a great platform, really fast to develop sites and clients love how easy it is to edit and maintain a finished site. It rocks!
Ohh I need this!
I discovered Concrete5 several weeks back and I’ve been preaching it to anyone I know building or reworking corp, content & eCommerce sites — two have taken the bait and have never looked back to Drupal. C5 just rocks. I’d be great to get the eCommerce & Discussion plugins!
This is such an awesome give-a-way. I hope to win.
