Macsimiser - our new CMS

Hi! First of all, welcome to our new website design blog!

Now this one is something special to us here at Macsi. It is the first to utilise our new Content Management System; Macsimiser. Our previous custom made CMSs have powered many of our clients' websites, however this one is a combination of all of those CMS ideas rolled into one product.

Macsimiser is built onto our solid MVC framework, created in 2011 and used for building client applications. It currently powers holiday let management systems, education systems, driving school booking diaries and estate agent websites.

Now you may be thinking why build a CMS with so many options like Wordpress, Joomla and Drupla available?. Let's throw Concrete 5 into the mix too :) Well, as good as those systems are, none of them integrate with our system perfectly without having to implement some hacks.

As our CMS and Apps are built using the same framework, we can do whatever we want with them - without too many problems. We built the code so we know it inside out. This means adding new features is far easier and simpler for us than doing the same in a pre made system.

Furthermore, we are building more functionality into our system and can expand wherever we think best. There are lots of additional functions that we felt were missing in the majority of other Content Management Systems without plug-ins and we have built these into the core system.

Finally we have made it fast, very fast and out of the box it is SEO friendly.

We have a list of features that we are currently adding to the system and we will run various blog posts on the additional features as and when they are released! Do keep coming back to see the progress of our system and company.
