What the world needs now is another website content management system...

Well, actually ... it kinda does...

For the past decade or more we've been working with Drupal and Wordpress and other "coupled" CMSs. While they promise rapid development and solve some website management problems, they create many problems too. Firstly, they promise simplicity, but if you need anything more than basic pages with text and pictures, 3rd party plugins or custom programming are needed. Pages become complex and information becomes siloed. In short, it makes site management more complicated and difficult. There's also technical problems. With traditional CMSs' reliance on 3rd-party plugins, performance, stability and security are sacrificed. And don't even think about scaling beyond minimal traffic loads.

Meanwhile, the new generation of headless site management tools sets out to fix many of the CMS-era's problems, but the distributed infrastructure also introduces complexity, technical overhead and cost.

Somewhere between those paths, there must be a happy medium. So we set out to reimagine what a PHP-based CMS could look like and how it could function.

The result was PostHaste, a management tool that feels familiar and easy, but also fixes many of the shortcomings of existing tools. But under the hood it has a completely new approach to managing and serving websites.

At first, PostHaste's management tool feels much like other CMSs. You'll notice the very flexible setup and robust structure. This includes:

Forget the hype. We believe that AI is a great tool for website managers to be more productive. That's been our guiding philosophy as we created various "powerups" and features that streamline and accelerate content management.

Whether it's translating an entire page into a different language or automatically writing a TikTok post for an upcoming event, PostHaste's powerups are ... well ... powerful!

A major issue with Wordpress and Drupal is that they use the same codebase, database credentials and URLs for front-end display and back-end management. While simpler from a deployment perspective, this creates lots of security and performance problems.

PostHaste addresses this by separating the front-end display system from the back-end management tool. They are accessed at different domains. They do not use the same database passwords and may not even be on the same server. But the PostHaste front end is not truly headless either, sharing a common data and storage layer with the management tool. This provides maximum flexibility and keeps front-end servers from being out of sync.

There's lots more going on here. Contact us if you have questions or would like to schedule a demo.
