VLW

Does the World really need another CMS?

VLW was created for a very specific function. To be an easy to use starter website tool. There are lots of full featured content management systems out there for doing every thing from blogging to social networking, but they are complex and require a steep learning curve and often expose underlying HTML or CSS issues making the learning curve even steeper. VLW was designed for small websites needing a few article pages, wanting a consistant look and feel from page to page and/or some simple pages to collect data from a customer and mail it to the website owner.

Stone Soup

One of the wonderful things about the Open Source movement is the rich array of toolkits, code snippets, and projects that are available for integrating into new tools. VLW is very much a work of stone soup, built around the popular WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) web page editor, fckeditor. It also uses SWCP's mail-form-results script to deliver form data to you via email.
