CraftCMS

If you know anything about CraftCMS; the pros and cons and how to start out, please share!

I would agree with the above.
I would add along similar lines: tends to be better for custom, higher end websites. Craft CMS does not come with themes so you will need a developer who can build a theme from scratch. The pro of that is that it rules out a lot of less skilled developers when you post Craft jobs on sites such as Upwork.
It does not require constant updating of versions and plugins. It is maintained by the parent company Pixel & Tonic.
Although the plugins are limited they tend to be of better quality then wordpress plugins. You don't really have to worry about them going out of date and if you are working with a good developer they can probably build what you need anyway.
As a content editor, the backend is quite user friendly.

CRAFT Content Management System:
Pros:
Godly fast load times
Lightweight and versatile
Yoast equivalent plugin : SEOmaticCons: Requires a higher end user which will involve more coding
Newer and less popular CMS than something like Wordpress, which means less themes and additions are available.
Utilizes Twigs which is a pain initially to learn the dynamics of the directories and how it's mappedConclusion:
If you got time to burn learning a new CMS, go with October CMS, that one is pretty sweet!
