    RuubikCMS Description

    RuubikCMS is a lightweight website publishing tool which is designed to be user-friendly for both the end-user and the webmaster. It is also fast and very easy to install as it uses SQLite database engine that comes built in PHP 5.1 and above.

    In our vision the end-user should be able to create and update webpages quickly without learning any special skills (no coding, HTML or CSS). For the webmaster a RuubikCMS site should be easy to install and manage but still flexible to allow modifications. In any case installing should be so easy that a designing oriented webmaster doesn't need any coding or database skills.

    For the end-user:

    • Easily publish web pages and news
    • Easily add images and other files
    • No HTML or any other coding skills required
    • WYSIWYG editing and easy multiple file uploads out of the box

    For the webmaster/designer:

    • Easy to install and customize
    • Works with any XHTML/CSS website template
    • No MySQL database needed (uses SQLite)
    • Important SEO features and search engine friendly URLs
    • News, snippets, user management, roles and more
    • Easily include PHP scripts and other custom content in webpages

    Used it on a number of client sites. Incredibly user friendly system. Easy to install. Easy to integrate into your html template. And for the end-user it is also very straightforward to use.

    At first glance functionality seems relatively limited, but once you get to know the system a little better many things are possible.

    The snippet system is especially handy with both html support as well as code support (for javascripts or php).

    The team behind it uses this CMS on production sites and it shows, as it is a well-rounded product.

    The addons are somewhat limited still but news support is already built in and gallery functionality is furthcoming. Current beta version also contains extranet functionality.

    All in all very much recommended for small company sites!

    I use professionally a number of CMSs (Joomla, Drupal, Xaraya, etc.) and in my opinion Ruubik is the most promising candidate for the role of best tool to implement personal/prototype/cheap sites.

    PROs:
    - it's easy and fast to install, customize and populate with basic content (text + images);

    - it doesn't require mySQL while laying on a sound dbms (sqlite3);

    - its learning curve is really a ramp.

    CONs:
    - few addons (but it is easy to write one)

    - just a template installable (but soon it will support the Smarty template engine)

    - few system areas to embed in a layout.

    Definitely, an application to be followed with attention.

    I tested the demo and I think that this is great. Simple, looks like it is very flexible end designer friendly. Multiple user level - great for your clients.

    Highly recommended.
