Case Study: Best Movies By Farr builds a thriving movie community with Crafter CMS from Crafter Software

Successfully Building a Community of Movie Buffs

Best Movies By Farr, a movie curation and editorial site led by John Farr, needed to replace its self-hosted, homegrown CMS, which was costly and time-consuming to maintain. The company wanted a scalable SaaS platform that would make content creation and publishing easier for authors while supporting a modern site and future feature development. Crafter Software’s Crafter CMS was chosen to help solve this challenge.

Crafter Software implemented Crafter CMS as a fully managed SaaS solution on AWS to power a full redesign of BestMoviesByFarr.com. The new site added responsive design, improved search and filtering, social sign-on, streaming integrations, and user movie libraries, while giving the team control over content, metadata, and URLs for better SEO. As a result, Best Movies By Farr can now focus on content and community building instead of IT management, while development and deployment have become faster and more cost-effective.
