Zotonic: Open source Erlang CMS

Zotonic is the content management system for people that want a fast, extensible, flexible and complete system for dynamic web sites. It is built from the ground up with rich internet applications ánd web publishing in mind.

·         Solid programming language

Zotonic is programmed in Erlang, a language made for fast, non-stop, fault-tolerant applications. Ideal to build high load, never break websites in.

·         Open Source front-end stuff

Builds on jQuery and the CSS framework Atatonic.

·         Flexible datamodel

Define your own data categories and relations.

·         Open Source

Zotonic is available under the Apache License 2. It's our way to say thanks to the giants on who's shoulders we stand.

Complete separation of model, view and controller has been a best practice for building websites a long time. We embrace MVC and many more best practices to make it easy for you to use the power of Zotonic.

Easy to extend and change existing functionality.

·         Speed

Typically 10 times (and much more) faster than PHP content management systems.

·         WebSockets and Comet

Push content to the browser with the built-in WebSockets and Comet support.

·         Template Language

We took the ease and power of the Django templating system, added some extra design freedom and gave it raw speed.

·         Proven and powerful database

PostgreSQL is the most advanced open source object-relational database system. We choose it for its power, speed and maturity.

·         Keep it real

Made to make real life web sites.

Interchangeable access control modules for different situations.

·         Built by people with loads of experience 

Made by experienced people with deep understanding of CMS, web- and system design.
