What is X3 CMS

X3 CMS is a content management system that was started as a small project which was designed to make easy development and the management of web sites/web applications. The developers believed that smaller is better because it made it easier to understand and to use. As a result, this also makes the system easier to adapt to various needs that a web developer can meet.

Technological Bases

X3 CMS was developed based on PHP. The developer felt it was the easiest programming language to use since it required less time and money when compared with other programming languages

Audience:Who Should Use It?

  • Young developers who want experience on a CMS that they can really understand and disassemble.

  • Programmers who want a simple basis to develop projects of varying sizes.

  • Web agencies who want to differentiate themselves by offering a solid and manageable product.

Due to the simplicity of the CMS, it is best suited for designing websites such as blogs, portfolios, magazine websites. However, you can also install plugins which allows for the creation of Ecommerce websites allowing developer to accept payments through the website, adding shopping carts, and manage inventory.

Which news?

The big news is the new theme for the administration side. A clean and tidy responsive theme.

A new default theme, as usual a minimalist theme, this time a resposive theme built with Bootstrap.

We also have a new modern logo.
