Butler - Content Managament Genius

  • Butler

    Butler © is an advanced content management system. Hence the expression, "content management genius".

    It was born from our continuous feeling of discontent with available open sourced content management applications, as well as with some of the commercial ones we used...
    We thought it strange that some content management systems had great modules, and extensibility, but their html, as well as php code was a mess.

  • The problem

    Html tables for presentation? No, thanks, we're in the 21th century, our applications should be too.

    Other applications were better at that, but they totally lacked other things, like Search engine optimization support. Ever tried to generate a site map for google? It gets a bit "tricky" when there's no way to do it, and you have to hard code the application. :)

    Some systems, again, had a totally rigid template system, with content placed in strict columns which were practically unbreakable.
    There were even systems that were more or less acceptable, but were simply unable to handle serious traffic.

    No, those are not all of the problems. There is still the issue of security! Ever seen hackers taking down entire masses of sites using the same cms? This happens quite often when a security update is publicly released, and people don't update immediately.

    All of these problems cost us many projects we were planing to do. We simply didn't have adequate tool for the job.

  • The idea

    Since we we're obviously going to build our own content management system, we asked ourselves,

    "Well hey, why don't we make the best darn thing we could think of while we're at it?!"

    So, we made plans. We set our goal to be a flexible, extensible, smart and extremely usable content management system. It should be quite fast with generating public content, and scalable.

    Top class security was a must have.

    At the same time our content management system should be as intuitive and easy to use as it could get. Also, it shouldn't give people headaches when they try to customize it's looks.

    Sounds like quite a task, doesn't it?

    We agree. Those few sentences cost us many, many days of all-day-round work, sleepless nights, screaming and stressing out. Thank God for it, it finally gave us a lot of pleasure when we actually started to use it.

  • The solution

    Butler is the older brother of a cms we used to call "Scream".
    The metaphor is quite depictive, isn't it? "Scream" was made out of pure frustration, and it fulfilled it's purpose well, we were finally able to do some serious work.

    After a while, with new experiences and desires, we decided to build the Butler. This time, our ideas of motivation were excellence, service and stability.
