Introduction

Changelog * Credits * History

KISSCMS is built to jump start web development by providing a clean and extensible framework, with a selection of popular features active out of the box.

One of its main objectives is to automate all the things a website "needs", while allowing enough freedom so the developer to be creative in their work.

Although some proficiency with programming is required to take full advantage of what KISSCMS has to offer, a lot of effort has been put into creating methods that appear to be straightforward and simple.

Novice users may still appreciate the uncluttered administration area, the hassle-free setup processes and the automated installation for all plugins/extensions.

Objectives

Tha main goals KISSCMS is trying to achieve:

  • To produce a CMS with minimal footprint
  • Complete separation of logic/data/design
  • Free from setup processes and server dependencies
  • Uncluttered administration

Features

To achieve the above goals KISSCMS has implemented a number of innovations. Here is a list of its main features:

  • MVC architecture
  • Wiki-style page creation
  • No Installation / uninstallation
  • Search Engine friendly URLs
  • Automatic sitemap generator

Roadmap

Although the CMS is stable and has used in production sites there are a number of improvements and additions that we're planning to include in upcoming releases. Some of these are:

  • Enable markdown and/or wysiwyg editors for the content area.
  • Directory of all available pages
  • Support more than one administrator
  • Externalise all text to a language file
  • Better validation feedback (error messages) and/or JavaScript validation of user input.
