The market for CMS programs has grown so large that keeping up with everything is virtually impossible.\u00a0 Although most users tend to have their favorites, there is always a handful of other solutions that warrant a closer look.\u00a0 In this article we will discuss some of the latest content management tools trying to make a name for themselves.\u00a0 These particular applications appear to be very capable and could be worth at least a test drive.<\/p>\n

Typeroom <\/strong><\/p>\n \n The Typeroom CMS is actually available in two versions: Typeroom Pro and Typeroom Lite.\u00a0 These two offer some of the inline editing features that have become highly sought after in CMS products over the last few years.\u00a0 Instead of logging into your site and being directed to a mysterious back-end administrative interface, you simply remain at your primary site and add the content from there.\u00a0 A mini editor can be accessed from the bottom your screen, allowing you to edit and manage your content in real-time.\u00a0 The major difference between the Typeroom versions is that the Pro edition is a hosted, fully functioning CMS, while Lite requires you to host the software on your own server.\u00a0 It also lacks some of the features and control the Pro versions offers.\u00a0 Typeroom Lite is free and Typeroom Pro requires a monthly fee.<\/p>\n \n Get Simple CMS <\/strong><\/p>\n \n While Get Simple CMS doesn\u2019t really offer technology we haven\u2019t seen before, it is very efficient at content creation and management.\u00a0 A comprehensive WYSIWYG editor makes page management a breeze and uploaded files can be incorporated with ease.\u00a0 Pages can even be arranged in hierarchy for streamlined organization.\u00a0 Get Simple CMS is limited in comparison to other solutions, but it seems as if the developers would prefer it that way as it was originally made to build 5 to 10 page brochure sites.\u00a0 The most significant drawback to this CMS is that it does not offer features to create a blog or news section, which is what many users are after these days.\u00a0 Get Simple CMS is freely available under the GNU GPL so it can be customized to meet your needs.<\/p>\n \n Firerift <\/strong><\/p>\n \n Firerift just may be the most impressive CMS in our list.\u00a0 It offers an attractive interface that makes it easy to create blog posts, upload various types of media, and even a lifesteam module by default.\u00a0 Firerift is a rather unique CMS that stores data in a databases, but then uses JSON to pull it out and put content on the page.\u00a0 While its creators boast that the use of template languages is not required, this isn\u2019t necessarily true.\u00a0 In order to get the most out of customization, you need use CSS to specify the data you want extracted from the database.\u00a0 The downside to Firerift is that the product is still fairly new so there isn\u2019t a lot of documentation on it right now.\u00a0 The good thing is that it is a premium product that comes with exceptional support.\u00a0 On top of that, the system is intuitive to the point where you shouldn\u2019t have much trouble figuring it out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The market for CMS programs has grown so large that keeping up with everything is virtually impossible.\u00a0 Although most users tend to have their favorites, there is always a handful…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[7382,1409,1408,1410,1411,1407],"class_list":["post-659","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cms","tag-cms","tag-firerift","tag-get-simple-cms","tag-json","tag-template-languages","tag-typeroom"],"views":100,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/webhostinggeeks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/659","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/webhostinggeeks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/webhostinggeeks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webhostinggeeks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webhostinggeeks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=659"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/webhostinggeeks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/659\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/webhostinggeeks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=659"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webhostinggeeks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=659"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webhostinggeeks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=659"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
