description Medium Overview
Medium is a publishing platform rather than a traditional CMS. It is designed for writers who want to reach an existing audience rather than build a site from scratch. Its clean, minimalist interface is excellent for writing, and its built-in network can help your content get discovered. However, you do not own your platform, your design options are non-existent, and you are subject to their algorithm and policies.
It is a great place to syndicate content or build a following, but it is not a substitute for a dedicated blog.
insights Ranking position
Medium ranks #48 of 93 in the Website Builder ranking, behind Drupal, ahead of Bulma.
