Composr Content Management Site
Composr is a CMS with many social media features, for building modern, sophisticated websites.
Composr supports many types of content (galleries, news/newsletters, etc.) – and integrating rich media and advertising into them.
Social features include forums, member blogs, chat rooms, wiki, and content commenting/rating.
Composr lets you decide how your site will look and behave.
Features are plentiful, but also optional.
Feature integration is at the core of the Composr philosophy – for example, the site-wide search engine, and the unified member profiles.
Composr is a very flexible CMS with advanced social, interactive and dynamic functionality.
Hundreds of features are available out of the box, as well as building blocks, and further addons (think multi-channel content delivery).
Out-of-the-box your site will meet the highest accessibility and professional standards, and will appear higher in Google due to automatic SEO.
Your website will automatically block and record hacking attempts, and you can control access in different ways such as via paid subscription.
Composr is designed as the software that’ll handle all your needs; you’ll get much more than just a Content Management System.
Composr is embraced by Fortune-100 companies, government agencies, and small startups.
We make all the best ideas available to everyone.
