We built LightCMS to facilitate beautiful, custom design.
We are passionate about world-class, custom web design. So, when we set out to build LightCMS, you can bet we had design at the top of our agenda. LightCMS's design flexibility is unmatched by any other system.
Enjoy ultimate flexibility
Design how you want and designate editable regions where you want your users to add and edit their own content. Users can add any of our content elements to any region on any page. Elements include everything from simple WYSIWYG editing to advanced features like our amazing form builder, calendar, blog and more.
You can designate an unlimited number of regions on every design template you create. You can also add an unlimited number of templates to every design you upload. If that's not enough, you can apply an unlimited number of designs to every website. As you can see, the name of the game is unlimited flexibility.
To code or not to code -- it's up to you
When it comes to getting your designs onto our system, you have two options.
Code it yourself
It's free, and if you can build a site in XHTML/CSS you'll have no problem integrating the simple code snippets needed to make your design work with LightCMS.
Use HTML and CSS standards
There are no special languages to learn and you get full control over your HTML and CSS code. You can even add JavaScript or other client-side fanciness as well.
Work how you want with FTP access
We offer FTP access, allowing you to manage your code and files through Dreamweaver or any other editors or tools you wish to use.
Get full documentation and support
Our design help page is a one-stop location to access all of our available design resources. You'll find links to our complete guide to uploading your own designs as well as a wealth of other great tools.
Let us code it for you
Maybe you're not into coding, or maybe you'd just rather save yourself the time. Either way, we've got you covered with HTML Xpress.
Get clean XHTML and CSS
Our team always adheres to the latest conventions of web standards for each HTML Xpress project.
Save yourself some time
By outsourcing the coding and integration to us, you can spend more of your time designing.
Use our included designs as a starting point
We have tons of fully-developed templates included on the system at no cost. You can use them as is, or you can download the complete source files for and use them as a starting place for your own designs. To view all of our freely available design templates, launch our design viewer. Or, for more about our templates and all of our other design resources, visit our design help page.
See it for yourself
Of course, the best way to get a feel for LightCMS's design friendliness is to take a look at sites that are running on the system. You're already looking at one of them — this site. To see more, check out our gallery.
