ShinyCMS is a content management system for building and operating content-rich websites. It is aimed principally at web developers who want a starting point for a site with an administration interface, editorial tools and optional community functions.
The system uses a modular architecture so installations can enable the functionality they need. Developers can adapt themes, extend the platform with their own plugins and integrate custom application behaviour. Administrative permissions are controlled separately from access to public-facing content.
A single installation can combine a conventional website with community participation and email communication. The shared administration area makes it possible to handle these functions without building each one as a separate service.
This is free and open source software.
