Wildcard Launches CastleCMS Website Software
Wildcard Corp. is proud to introduce CastleCMS, our in-house website software package. We've already put it to the test with powering a major US federal government website and it has shown itself to be a runaway success. CastleCMS has been more than a year in the making, and almost everyone at Wildcard was involved in making it a reality.
What is CastleCMS?
CastleCMS is an extremely powerful and extraordinarily secure content management system. It’s designed to make it as easy as possible for organizations to create, manage, and host large volumes of various media and information on their websites. It's a complete content management experience unlike anything else. More features are included out of the box than with any of its competitors. It does everything you need without requiring extra plugins, add-ons, and widgets.
CastleCMS is the result of a natural progression of modern technologies: responsive design, content delivery networks and web application firewalls with CloudFlare, and advanced security features unmatched by any other CMS. Read about some of the best features of CastleCMS or check out the short demo videos available for each feature on the CastleCMS website.
The Inspiration for CastleCMS
Team members at Wildcard have been contributing to another website software package for several years now: the Plone content management system. Plone is open source software, meaning that its code is publicly available. Not only can anyone use Plone for free, anyone (qualified) can contribute changes and improvements to it. Some of us have been contributing to Plone since before Wildcard was formed in 2007. Plone is the foundation for CastleCMS.
Wildcard's clients have always included large government organizations. Over the years, we took note that a lot of organizations needed many of the same features—features that weren’t included in the standard installation of Plone. Plone was a fantastic starting point for our integrated web centric, or portal, solutions, but rather than continuing to install the same add-ons or system integrations over and over again, we thought, why not just make all these features part of the standard installation?
This became the guiding idea behind CastleCMS. We asked our customers what else they would like to see. We compiled a list of the features that were most commonly requested. And then we went to work integrating those features and designing the best way to make them work together. In addition, we made improvements to the user experience by simplifying how users create and manage large amounts of information. CastleCMS is an embodiment of our commitment to our customers needs.
Castle Cloud, our highest service tier, includes not only CastleCMS but also managed cloud hosting, a list of security features a page long, and our enterprise level of support, 24x7. Castle Cloud is our full-service web solution, where we handle everything from A to Z.
