Features

Evolution CMS provides a fast, lightweight and powerful framework to deploy and secure your websites and web applications.

For example, it gives you a true system for registered web users and groups that is separate from administration users. You can grant some web users access to one page and others access to another page.

For content management, you can easily duplicate documents, folders (and all their children!), chunks and snippets.

The most significant, though, is Evolution CMS's ability to empower you to quickly and easily create and maintain a rich and dynamic website like never before.
