    Pixie Description

    Pixie 1.04 has launched with a tonnes of improvements. Pixie now uses CKEditor for WYSIWYG editing and ships with the latest jQuery. A full description of whats new can be found on the Wiki.

    Our main goal is to keep Pixie simple. Keeping Pixie simple doesn't stop it from having plenty of powerful, useful features. So lets start with our favourite three:

    • The Installer - Most website management tools will install the same package for everyone. Pixie takes a new approach and allows you to select the type of site you are after. A blog?, A site for your band? Maybe one to run your Business? We think it's your site - so you choose what best suits you. As Pixie matures so will the list of possibilities...
    • Web Standards - Pixie uses the latest web standards so whatever site you build, it's accessible to all your visitors and is search engine friendly. Pixie is especially fond of Microformats. It's not just your visitors who benefit though. We're working hard to make the site administration area easy and accessible too.
    • Design - Pixie itself has been designed to be simple. Pixie’s interface has been refined over a number of versions to be user friendly. On the visitor side... you will love the fact that all you need to know is CSS to customise your site. If that sounds too complicated you can choose from the ever increasing amount of free themes.

    and the rest...

    • Clean URLs
    • CSS themes
    • Database backups
    • File manager with tag support
    • jQuery
    • Microformats
    • Modules, Themes, Plug-ins and Blocks
    • Multilingual
    • Search Engine Friendly
    • Spam Protected
    • XHTML compatible rich text editor
    • Web Based
    • User support with privileges

    Like this one a lot. Really looking forward to the finished version. I don't know quite enough CSS to do my own theme yet, but working on it. Easy to install, very helpful.

    I really liked this, it's pretty simple to use, obviously for simple things, so if you are planning to do something not that complex use it!

    Pixie has a very attractive admin interface and creating modules is a piece of cake.

    I found the default template system over complicated but editing the index file and setting up my own theme was very easy.

    The code used is quite easy to understand. There are no complicated classes so anyone with a moderate knowledge of PHP can alter this.

    Pure and Simple. Exactly what I was looking for!

    Easy and simple, very good option for a simple blog.
    Only a few plugins available, but support is quick in Pixie forums.

    A really easy and lightweight CMS. With others CMS you need to upload more than one thousand files, Pixie has less than 300.
    For small (or medium) but complete webs it's one of the best choice i've found.

    Pixie has made the perfect combination; easy and simplistic user interface combined with most features you'll ever need.
