Pixie is a relativily new open source content management system that bases off it’s simplicity and very simply calls itself “the small, simple, site maker”. The simplicity of the backend design for end users makes this open source CMS very attractive to many. You can kind of see what i’m talking about by looking at this screenshot of the backend below.

Let me give you an idea of what this content management system can do for you by giving you the list of features that are mentioned on the projects features page. This may help you in finding out whether or not this is a system that you can use for one of your next web projects!

  1. Clean URL’s
  2. CSS Themes
  3. Free & Open Source
  4. Modules, Themes, Plugins & Blocks (very similar to Drupal)
  5. Multilingual
  6. It’s Portable
  7. Robots.txt for SEO
  8. RSS 2.0
  9. Search Engine Friendly
  10. Sitemap.xml
  11. It’s Small
  12. Spam Protected
  13. System and Referral Logs
  14. User support with privileges
  15. XHTML Compatible Rich Text Editor (WYSIWYG)
  16. Jquery Support
  17. File Manager with Tag Support
  18. Database Backups

Yes I know you are probably thinking, “another content management system? I already have WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, why do I need another content management system?” Well if you are an open source geek like myself, you are never satisfied with the current limitiations that all content management systems give you. And you are always willing to try out these new projects when they come along. You never know when what content management system will be the next WordPress, Joomla, or Drupal?
