SilverStripe CMS
The SilverStripe CMS is one of the most well designed content management systems we've seen. Originally developed, and still supported, by a New Zealand company, they have made the source code freely available. An ever widening community of open-source developers have been contributing to a large library of program modules.
Bluehouse was originally drawn to SilverStripe because it offers a very clean and intuitive interface for users, plus an exceptional environment for developers. The underlying code is a solid MVC framework, evidence of modern architectural design. (It appeals to our techie side.) More importantly, it offers our clients a higher degree of scalability, reliability, and maintainability compared to other products.
In 2009 we became SilverStripe Certified Partners. That means we're plugged into the developer community, and we have access to the people and resources at the core of the product.
Silverstripe is a terrific platform for dynamic, database driven content.
- Events calendars
- Course catalogs
- Product configurators
- Relational data
- Syndicated content (enter once, show many places on the site)
A website powered by a database will save you time. You can enter content once, and let smartly coded Web pages fetch and display the content in multiple places. It can also provide a smoother user experience, where website visitors can easily search and filter information in different ways.
