Another CMS? What's so different about dotAdmin?

We like to think of dotAdmin as a content management framework, rather than a traditional CMS. Most content management systems are quite prescriptive, requiring the user to manage their website using a specific workflow and specific set of fields. dotAdmin provides a flexible, documented API allowing the document editors, templates and site structure to be tailored to each specific use case. Each dotAdmin instance can be custom built to specific requirements of the individual website and the requirements of its administration staff.

 

The dotAdmin sitebuilder service

For people on a tight budget, we offer the dotAdmin self-build sitebuilder service. With this fully hosted deployment of our dotAdmin CMS, we offer website owners the ability to order a dotAdmin website via the dotAdmin.com website, select one of our range of off the shelf templates, customise their colour scheme and layout, then start building their web site themselves, using dotAdmin's powerful site management tools.

A range of objects, classes and helpers are available to the template developer, and detailed documentation for the dotAdmin API makes template development a breeze!
