Micromegas CMS is built on a simple idea: a solid foundation that stays out of your way. That applies just as much to the people using it day to day — the interface focuses on doing the essentials well, so you spend your time creating content, not fighting the tool. Here are some of the things that make it a pleasure to work with.
Micromegas CMS offers two ways to format content: the old-school WYSIWYG editor (powered by TinyMCE) or a newer block-based system for designing more complex pages. Both work on a "what you see is what you mean" principle, rather than trying to replicate the final website design inside the editor. That means simpler editing for administrators, and more predictable results for visitors.
Micromegas CMS includes everything you'd expect for classic search engine optimization: controllable meta tags on every page, alt text for every uploaded image, an auto-generated sitemap.xml and robots.txt, and more. The code is also built to be semantically coherent and fast to load. And since rendering happens on the server, it works even for crawlers and users without JavaScript.
Born in Europe, Micromegas CMS was built to handle multilingual websites from day one — not as a plugin bolted on later. The language code always lives in the URL, which avoids session-based preferences that break the moment someone shares a link. Each language can have its own structure and its own content, not just translated labels. And you can add or remove a language at any point in a site's life, not only when you first set it up.
Micromegas CMS offers a level of security that competes with much bigger solutions. That includes, among other things: complete SSL management, optional 2FA for administrator accounts, brute-force detection, and a fully self-contained CAPTCHA system for when you don't want or need an external service. The codebase is regularly tested, and complete end-to-end automated testing of the main features is in the works.
Emails have their flaws, but they're still what most websites rely on for contact forms and transactional messages. Micromegas CMS helps mitigate those flaws: SMTP is easy to configure, and a core plugin right inside the CMS interface lets authorized administrators see exactly what was sent, to whom, and when. There's also an interface to register a webhook, so your SMTP provider can send delivery feedback back to the CMS.
