ColdBricks

ColdBricks as a open source flexible Content Management System similar to NetVibes.

At the first glance you will see that ColdBricks is not your typical Content Management System. The flexibility, power of customization and endless possibilities for extension provided by the underlying architecture sets ColdBricks apart from traditional content management applications.

Whereas other CMS solutions aim to provide a tightly controlled environment full of rules and restrictions, the goal of ColdBricks is to provide site creators with the tools to craft unique sites that can grow in multiple directions and can take multiple shapes.

ColdBricks is based on the idea that each page on a site is a collection of "resources" such as content entries, skins, interactive widgets or HTML fragments. Site creators manage these "resource libraries" and can combine any of these resources to create the pages of the site.

Another distinction between ColdBricks and other CMS applications, is that the sites that you create using ColdBricks do not depend on the presence of ColdBricks to function. This means that ColdBricks can be used by developers to generate and customize a site and then simply copy the generated website code (along with the HomePortals runtime library) and deploy to a different server and the site will work exactly the same.

Furthermore, ColdBricks ships with several "site templates" which can be used to rapidly generate different types of sites that can be either used "straight out of the box" or further customized. Additionally, the site template functionality of ColdBricks can be extended by adding new templates or even building your own!

Powered By HomePortals Technology.

ColdBricks generates sites that are built on top of the HomePortals framework. HomePortals is a development platform that allows developers to build interactive and modular web applications by combining existing reusable resources into a single page.
