The version 5 is here ! See The roadmap

AbeCMS

AbeCMS is your new CMS with revolutionary self-descriptive templates

When creating blogs becomes as easy as 1-2-3. AbeCMS is an API first + static site generator with a great back-office for users.

For agencies: Go 12X faster than with Wordpress or Drupal to create websites and blogs For devs: A js full stack framework for js full stack devs with extensibility and efficiency in mind

• Markup your html templates with specific tags, and your back-office is ready to go: It's time to contribute for your users!
• Add a complete workflow of validation and permissions with ease, using the state of the art oAuth2 stack.
• Deploy automagically to Surge, AWS S3, Github.io, or any web server via SFTP
• Create multi-languages, multi-locales, complex web structures in no time
• Add plugins like abe-algolia, abe-elasticsearch... or create your own with just js skill

Goals

• Being the easiest CMS on the planet for the developpers by providing 1 clear api stack to rule them all and using a html markup usable by non-devs to create a full website:
  • Develop your HTML templates with hot reload and see changes in real time
  • Develop your plugins with hot reload and see also changes in real time
  • Directory-based URLs. Create directories and subdirectories in AbeCMS, the URL page will be expressed from its spot on the filesystem.
  • Focus on your HTML integration, dynamizing it becomes a breeze with AbeCMS
• Being the easiest CMS on the planet for the users by using hyper clean pages and A REAL wysiwyg editor fast and easy to use:
  • One Dashboard for your analytics
  • One Manager page for listing and searching all your posts
  • One editor with a REAL wysiwyg of your post
  • One page for managing your users and their authorizations
  • THAT'S ALL !
• Being content focused (the C in CMS):
  • Data are created as JSON documents
  • An API-first Server to serve your documents as json
  • Or a static website generator
  • Or both !

Why use AbeCMS instead of other CMS or Static Site Generators ?

• Designed for users
• A real Wysiwyg Editor
• A real workflow and authorization engine based on oAuth2
• Auto-generation of the back-office editor based on your markup
• Live editing on each part of your site during development dramatically increasing the dev speed
• A strong separation of data and templates making the reuse of data a breeze
• A API-first REST server: You create html pages and can consume data for your mobile, emails or whatever
