Enterprise level and high traffic websites demand the quickest possible processing time for each request. This fact often disqualifies the use of popular - feature rich - CMS systems, and custom development is mostly the only way to go. Skyline CMS cuts the costs for development by offering a solid back end for virtually any site. It is capable of creating diverse applications like e-shops, information portals, catalogs. You can think of SkylineCMS as of a barebone software, which can be configured and extended to suit the needs of the project.

The CMS user interface editor - SkylineArchitect - does not require programming knowledge, so the back-end user interface can be created also by non-programmers. However skills in software architecture design and/or the active participation of developers make the task easier and more effective.

SkylineCMS user interface

The lack of features other CMS's support can be deterring on the first sight, but think about it in a different way. If you ever used a full-featured CMS for a real world website, you know how painful and time consuming it can be to customize it's architecture to really suit your project's needs. Another important thing is the ease of use. End users can be overwhelmed by the back-end user interface and rate the system as non user-friendly. Using SkylineArchitect's Dataset Templates, developers can quickly create popular schemes for general site structure, blogging, e-commerce, online catalogs etc. Then, the front-end developer will take care of the presentation, and he can even use a different platform or programming language for this!¹

SkylineCMS will be available to new clients free of charge. Licensing plans for web development companies who wish to use it as a back end for their projects will be announced soon. Please subscribe to the Skyline Visual newsletter to receive updates.
