Can Concrete 5 Do the following?

Permalink
I'm looking for a good versatile CMS which can make it easy to do a bunch of tasks. We currently use Mura and are planning to move to a different platform.

Can Concrete 5:
Add/Remove/Edit pages?
Have multiple user accounts with multiple permissions?
Allow for the inclusion of calendars, reusable parts, forms, galleries, image sliders, inclusion of all popular media, shopping carts, etc?

It's not clear by reading the documentation what Concrete 5 can actually do, so I want to make sure.

Thanks!
Brendan

Short answer- Yes to all.

Longer answer- Some of your listed functionality requires add-ons (such as "shopping cart").
There are many different add-ons available. Some are free, some are not.

Also, beware that there are two currently supported versions of Concrete5 (6 and 7, referred to as 5.6 & 5.7), and the add-on are NOT cross compatible (because version 7 has significant changes). And the important point is, there simply does not exist the same number of add-ons yet, so you may or may not find something for 5.7 that you do in 5.6 (eCommerce being a perfect example... there is currently only 1 eCommerce add-on for 5.7, and it uses a 3rd party eCommerce solution, whereas in 5.6 you have at least 2 different ones that do not use 3rd party solutions, and a whole bunch that do).

So you need to decide on version 6 vs 7. I'm building a site now in 5.6 for this very reason. It will be supported (bug fixes, etc.) for at least another year.
