Silverstripe Web Development

What is Silverstripe?

Silverstripe is a Content Management System (also known as a "CMS"), which does exactly what it says on the tin - it allows you to manage the content on your website.

You've probably heard of another Content Management System, WordPress, which is one of the most popular ones out there.

If your website has used WordPress before, you're probably a little apprehensive about changing to a different Content Management System - but don't worry, Silverstripe is like WordPress in many ways:

  • You can edit your content
  • It allows you to add and remove pages
  • You can upload and manage images
  • Create links between pages and different websites
  • Multiple users can manage the site

and so on.

So why do we choose to use Silverstripe?

Although it's similar to WordPress, we choose to use Silverstripe as our go-to content management system due to its flexible codebase and the friendly and clean interface offered to our clients.

The feedback we hear about Silverstripe from our clients is always the same - it's simple, it's clear, and it makes their job easier.

Choosing a package such as Silverstripe isn't an easy task. But while the likes of WordPress are top of the list for many agencies, we like to be a bit different and in many cases, Silverstripe is the ideal choice for developing a new website for many reasons.

Why do we use Silverstripe?

Secure

From multiple logins and roles, to audit trails and account-level permissions. Silverstripe allows you to customise who can do what to help keep your site secure.

Speed

Using the Silverstripe template engine, built-in caching, and intelligent database interaction, there's no hanging around waiting for the site to load.

Simple Navigation

Both the file and page manager are simple to navigate, with easy visibility of what's in draft form and what's live, and even rearrange pages by drag-and-drop.

Flexible Code

Ok, so this one is for us mainly. The code is flexible and allows a high degree of customisation, including adding functionality to suit your organisation's needs.
