The open-source CMS Kunstmaan

What is Kunstmaan?

Kunstmaan is a content management system, or CMS. With this system the content, and often the appearance, of a website can be managed without the need for technical knowledge. By regularly posting, for example, news items or adjusting texts, the website remains up-to-date and attractive to (returning) visitors.

The Kunstmaan CMS is developed by an Internet agency of the same name from Leuven (Belgium). The company was founded in 1998 and now has 70 employees spread over 2 offices. In 2011 they started developing a CMS for internal use and since early 2012 the Kunstmaan-CMS has been made public. Laméco has been actively and frequently using the Kunstmaan-CMS since 2013.

The power of Kunstmaan

In addition to Kunstmaan being a user-friendly system, there are several reasons why Laméco enjoys using this CMS.

• Technology
  Kunstmaan is developed based on the well-known PHP framework 'Symfony'. This framework offers a solid foundation through the use of reliable software. With regular updates and a large community as a constituency, quality, security and support are guaranteed. This allows developers to focus on developing extensions and custom solutions.

• Open Source
  Since 2012, Kunstmaan CMS has been an open source system. This means that the source code is public for everyone and can be used and further developed by other developers. This has created a close-knit community that actively develops extensions and improvements.

• User
  A basic principle of the developers of Kunstmaan is that everyone should be able to use this CMS well, regardless of his/her technical knowledge. By using simple structures, the focus is on the content and appearance of the website. Functionalities such as duplicating pages or posts and editing images directly in the CMS ensure freedom and ease of use.

• Possibilities
  Given the great freedom and flexibility offered by the system, almost anything in the field of websites is possible. This makes the system suitable for developing many types of custom software such as a landing page or corporate website to an extensive website with links to various (external) systems.
