CMS 7 of 24: Silverstripe, OpenCMS, vTiger

SilverStripe

A CMS for the people who need one

You’re a web designer. You’re looking for a CMS, but not for yourself: It’s your clients who will use the CMS on a daily basis. We built a CMS for the people who edit website content, and built a separate set of tools for the people who actually make the websites. The result: a more intuitive CMS.
See for yourself.
Tailor the CMS to your clients

We have designed the CMS to be tailored: You can easily create exactly the content fields that fit with your design. Your clients can build on the framework you create for them easily, while still maintaining design integrity.
Make more out of your site with SilverStripe extensions

Add new features with modules, give your site a new look with one of the themes, or add more power to your sidebar with widgets.
Control your own HTML

Our template language doesn’t dictate HTML to you. We expect that you know how to make great looking websites and don’t want to stand in your way. Our template language simply lets you get your database content integrated into the CSS/HTML that you design.
Make your code shine

The CMS ties in seamlessly with the Sapphire framework. You can develop customisations to your SilverStripe more quickly, and end up with more maintainable code.
