SilverStripe Fist Glance

September 14th, 2007

Read/Write has posted a good article about SilverStripe, a new lightweight CMS built on PHP5 and Ajax. I checked out the demo that they had up and it really looks pretty good. I haven’t done an install or looked at the code to change layout, but from what I can see, it looks fairly easily.

They have a couple of good starts on modules too. Some of these include

  • E-commerce
  • Forum
  • Flickr
  • Gallery
  • Google Maps
  • Blog

By far not as extensive as Wordpress or Drupal but it’s a good start. I’m going to keep an eye on this New Zealand Company as they might make a bigger splash into the CMS world here soon. I would say that this CMS Package is a mix between a blogging CMS package and an Enterprise CMS package. Look for more to come on this topic.
