How does WebsiteBaker work ?

WebsiteBaker is a free content management system which is primarily used to create small and medium-sized websites. WebsiteBaker is based on the server script language PHP and the MySQL database, which runs under open-source license and is available free of charge.

WebsiteBaker is primarily known for simple use. It has an automated installation program and a simple GUI (graphical user interface) that also allows computer beginners and less experienced users to publish content or information on the Internet.

WebsiteBaker has many functions to create a dynamic website, though the project always tries to preserve the "easy use". This can only be achieved by not "bloated" with features.

Modules

The growing user community of WebsiteBaker created and managed some of the modules, of which some are already delivered as standard with WebsiteBaker CMS. These extensions are all available free of charge and will be added after successful testing to the official "Add-ons" site.

Among the modules are:

Integration of well-known galleries, internet forums and WYSIWYG HTML editors for the admin area

Other enhancements such as guestbook, download area, and much more

Modules can be uploaded via the administration area in the form of a zip-file and the installation starts automatically. The activation of the modules takes place when creating a new page, where then the module can be selected by using the entry in "type:" . Modules can be deinstalled easily via backend.

The creation of modules is done with the scripting language PHP. These can be created easily, but some experience in dealing with programming languages should be available.
