HereSay is a Content Management System, or CMS, with three objectives. Here are HereSay's objectives, in priority order:

  1. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) - Above all else, HereSay values SEO. The development team for HereSay constantly studies SEO and communicates with industry experts to build-in features that help enforce best practices and avoid common pit-falls.
  2. End-User Simplicity - Setup is automatic and most tasks in HereSay can be performed by pointing-and-clicking or dragging-and-dropping. HTML can be edited directly, or via the TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor.
  3. Extensibility - HereSay is built on the popular N2 CMS Framework, though which an infinite number of plug-ins and customizations can be made.

Want to help?

Right now we need feedback. Is the system usable? Are the surprises pleasant? Is there something you love or hate about your current CMS? Is there a feature you need for a website, and just can't seem to find an easy solution? Share it with us!

If you'd like to contribute a feature or bug fix - go ahead! Fork the code, write the feature, and create a pull request. We'll review the changes and pull them in based on where the feature falls in the development road-map and how complete (organized, tested, documented) your code is.
