I have been developing my own CMS for roughly 2 years now. And only now starting to see the benefits of it. I haven't spoken much on what it is capable of but figured it was time to talk about one of the neat features it has!
Multi-Site handling. Sure WordPress recently has this functionality in it it. But my CMS has the ability to work on multiple pieces of content (articles, dancesteps, movies, and more.) All in one page. In a lot of ways you could consider it the GMail of CMS's.
I added this originally for a client of mine and at first had no use for it. But with running multiple sites now I am finding the need for "speed" management. I can't keep up with multiple CMS logins and sections so enter the multi-site capibility! As of now I am running several WordPress sites, 2 WareCMS's (now 1) and some others coming up here. I don't want to have to login but into one system! WareCMS 1.0 works great and all I have to do is point my database connection to the same section. While I need to make tweaks here and there so certain aspects only affect each site it will certainly be a handy tool.
Everything works similarly in a list format. You select in the same format which pieces you want to "Edit" and while in the Edit section you can even add more new sections of content for a different site or same site. Tagging, and adding the content to Pages is exactly the same as GMail and alows you to manage each part.
I don't want to put pictures up yet, but as I am testing and updating the UI look and feel I will look at adding pictures in the coming months as I prepare this for potential use online.
Right now the only down side to the CMS is that it does require knowledge of PHP, and development, but for someone like me its perfect. I can add pages and content relatively quickly though each page has to be built out and data storage has to be setup for each content type. I have built a few types of content items such as Articles and Banners that default in the system and work great!
For now this is all and ill post pictures later!
