The CMS that will help you build the website of your dreams
Our Content Management System is built around the features that are key to building, managing and growing a great website, keeping not only the editors, designers, developers, and marketers, but also your visitors, in mind.
For your visitors
Building just a website is simple, but building a great website can be challenging. The Phaistos CMS is built around features that will help you get the user experience of your site visitors just about perfect.
Focused on performance
Next to content, performance is the most important aspect of every website. You don't want to make your audience wait more than a few seconds for your site to load. And you don't want your site to be laggy.
By delivering just what's needed, (pre-)caching important content, optimizing all your assets, lazy-loading non-critical media, and server side pre-rendering, our CMS will help you build the fastest website possible.
Accessible by design
Providing an accessible experience enables you to share your content with everyone who has access to the internet. According to WHO, about 15% of the world's population lives with some form of disability. Our CMS has been designed with accessibility in mind, so you don't have to limit your audience to the other 85%.
All our templates come up with semantic markup supporting people with visual impairments, don't require JavaScript to be enabled, and are optimized to run smoothly on low-end devices.
Image optimization out of the box
Images are usually the heaviest assets on a website, consuming not only bandwidth, but also the device's CPU power when being rendered. Having a lot of unoptimized images on your website can result in a poor user experience caused by layout shifts and laggy scrolling behavior.
With our built-in image optimization, you will be able to provide appropriately sized and optimized images in modern formats without having to pay for an external image optimization services or having to do all the hard work manually.
