PHP-Fusion

PHP-Fusion is an all-in-one integrated content management system (CSM) that packs all the necessary tools to create or design commercial websites, personal sites and community portals. Available since 2003, the open-source toolkit currently accounts for more than 15 million website production projects and it's still growing.

It is worth mentioning that the CSM relies on a MySQL database to store websites' content, so you can be sure that you do not have to worry about scalability. Even so, it comes with a very nice layout as well as intuitive tabs and icons, so it is unlikely you will have difficulties getting around. In fact, with version 9, you can enjoy a fresh new look and a considerably improved admin panels, according to the users. In spite of the changes and improvements, the toolkit is still built as a portal type of CSM, which is not necessarily a bad thing but it may deter some IT professionals.

In terms of features, the toolkit includes Bootstrap 3.xx, Fusion Defender SDK, Admin Themes and other options that makes everything simple and straightforward to navigate. Since it packs various themes, you do not have to go through the trouble of finding the one that best suits your needs and preferences. Moreover, it includes a separate news access control, news snippets, news unique gallery and language management for your theme.
