The Exponent Team is pleased to announce the release of Exponent Content Management System version 2.0 - Content Management Made Simple.
The culmination of over several years of R&D and user community input, Exponent offers many features found in other systems (both open source and proprietary).
However, Exponent stands for Content Management Made Simple.
Exponent brings a number of innovative approaches to problems found in other content management systems, and brings useful features lacking in others.
Unlike other site management tools, no additional applications need to be downloaded by a user to permit them to use Exponent. Everything, from user management, to site configuration, to content editing (and content approval for large, multi-admin sites), is done within the system - simply. Exponent does what other CMS systems do - it allows permitted users to create website pages, content on pages, and manage where these pages are placed on a website
- but it does all this in a completely new way.
Exponent uses an intuitive and flexible content editing system that allows website pages to be edited on the page as it is displayed - no more back-end administration, no more navigating endless administration pages to add a simple line of text - simply visit the page you need to edit as if you were a site visitor, and make the change with an inline WYSIWYG editor which makes formatting text and images a snap.
Exponent is modular, but flexible. Content can be mirrored through a site and edited in any instance or copy from any page that the content is placed on, or simply created as unique content. Multiple site themes and CSS stylesheets are easily integrated, and sub-themes (separate frameworks for content within a common appearance or theme) are possible with minimum fuss. A large range of different content modules can be activated via the admin interface with ease and used, other community-supported modules uploaded and installed automatically in a few moments, and external scripts can be incorporated with ease. Exponent's framework also rewards developers who need to create their own custom solutions.
Exponent is created for the community, by the community. Exponent developers support the Exponent Project because they believe in not only the system as a new and radically different CMS offering, but also because they appreciate its underlying simplicity and common sense.
Please refer to CHANGELOG.md for a full list of new Exponent features, and a list of features coming up in future releases.
Thank you for using Exponent!
