You know that moment when you are casually scrolling, coffee in hand, and suddenly you do a double take because you recognize a name? That was us this week.

Concrete CMS has been featured in a Forbes Advisor roundup of the best content management software. Not a sponsored mention. Not a blink-and-you-miss-it footnote. An editorial inclusion alongside platforms businesses actually trust.

January is rarely about fireworks. It is about clearing inboxes, finishing leftovers, and easing back into momentum. That same energy carried into the Concrete CMS January 2026 Town Hall, and honestly, that is not a bad thing. No core release this month, some thoughtful community contributions, a practical marketplace update, and a reminder that simple, well-designed websites still win.

Hello everybody! We're wrapping up a great year with the Concrete CMS Town Hall for December 2025. It's been an amazing journey, and I want to extend a huge thank you for everything the community does. It's truly cool to be part of something much bigger than any one of us, and I'm always excited to see what you've all built with Concrete.

Hello, everyone! As we head into the holiday season, let’s take a moment to look back at what’s been happening in the Concrete CMS world this month. From new releases and community contributions to fresh marketplace add-ons and a beautiful “site in the wild,” there’s plenty to raise a glass to.

It’s been a crisp fall month here in Portland, perfect weather for squashing bugs, shipping releases, and adding a little extra polish to your Concrete sites. So grab a pumpkin-spiced something and let’s dive in.

PortlandLabs is proud to announce that Concrete CMS has been recognized with the Fall 2025 Leader Award from SourceForge, the world’s largest software reviews and comparison website.

You know those months where everything’s calm, then someone quietly ships a pile of fixes and a neat tool drops in the Marketplace? That was September. Light on drama, heavy on usefulness. Here’s what shipped, what we learned, and who made it happen.

Twenty years ago, when Hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated the Gulf Coast, the Oregon National Guard led its largest peacetime deployment in history. Thousands of soldiers and airmen from across the country came together under Joint Task Force Pontchartrain to support recovery and relief efforts.

If you’ve been outside lately, you know it’s hot enough to fry an egg on your keyboard. Inside, though, Franz and Andy have been keeping things cool with a couple of fresh core releases, community site improvements, and some shiny new marketplace additions.
