SilverStripe is an intuitive content management system atop a powerful programming framework.

They have rethought how content editors, developers, and designers should build and manage websites. SilverStripe arrived at a unique combination that empowers all three to get their jobs done more quickly and with more flexibility.

You get the benefit of SilverStripe being free, with the backing of a vibrant open source community who support, test, and contribute to the SilverStripe product.

SilverStripe are making our content mangement system the most powerful, efficient to use, and intuitive means for someone to edit their site.

They use terminology that people editing websites understand. For clarity's sake, anything geeky or related to hardcore development of a website is excluded from the interface. SilverStripe are happy for others to claim to have the same features, because they focus on there being fewer steps and a more pleasurable experience. This is hard to do: how many years did we suffer before the iPhone showed a truly intuitive way to organise a phone's features?

This principal covers everything a content editor does: Adding a page, a link, or image--even editing images online. We let you drag and drop pages to manipuate your sitemap and menus, since that's the most logical and time-efficient way for you do it. But they also give you powerful features like staging sites, multilanguage support, human-friendly URLs, and comparing different versions of page over time.
