Fancy CMS

Firstly I would like to say thank you to everyone who was patiently waiting, while we were breaking all the assigned deadlines
And finally, Fancy Flash CMS open source core is ready and currently passes the QA team!

As we have promised before – the core will be released under a free license for private usage and under commercial license for any profit-oriented needs! Here’s the quick guide into licensing:

Free License / Commercial License

Here are the answers to the questions that we’ve received during the “FancyCMS Interactive” period.
To recap I’d have to say that the questions were not that technical as I’ve expected them to be
I think we’re still opened to any kind of questions – feel free to comment!

1. – Is FancyCMS free or what?
Basically FancyCMS is not a single product: it is being divided into the core itself, the templates and the admin interface.
As we have announced earlier FancyCMS core will be open source and we’ll give it out under free license (more on licenses soon). We’ll also give out two flash cms demo templates for free. And this will happen within the next week !!!
Ok. We have the admin interface and premium templates left. Those will not be free, and, besides, we’ve decided to leave the admin interface for further development and improvement. So it will be released a bit later, than the core.

Since I’ve started to tweet actively and communicate with people by e-mail, I’ve noticed that my technical knowledge is not enough to answer all the questions that I receive about FancyCMS.

So I thought it would be great to give you the opportunity to communicate with our developers directly!

Feel free to post any questions about the upcoming software in comments below. Since our developers are extremely busy with the product itself, we gonna pick the most valuable ones to pass them. And in a day or two we’ll post exhaustive answers from our gurus of Flash development!

Waiting for your questions!

As many of you may have noticed our basic Wordpress template is not the best sollution to host a remarkable piece of software that we keep telling your about! As the release is slowly approaching we are in need of a good website to represent our Flash CMS. After all we need an attractive design if we want to sell at least one copy of Fancy CMS to you guys

A little tidbit that I want to share with you is that we actually gonna use Fancy CMS admin panel design as a basis for our website template design! I am more than sure that it will look great and play a major role in our branding campaign!

I’ll keep the rest of website design ideas in secret to surprise you a bit when we switch skins

As for the software itself – I will post some detailed reports after the website redesign! Keep in touch!

As to reward you for your patience and your interest to Fancy Flash CMS I decided to make up something like a quick report on what is done and what is in the process of development now. In such a way you can know better what to expect from Fancy and probably come up with some good ideas.

So, here is what is done:

Forgive me my disappearance. I am extremely sorry for having left you guys with no information for this long, and, what is even worse, with no Flash CMS so far. The thing is that there was no chance for me to let you know anything on how the project is going, because I had to spend about 2 weeks in hospital with pneumonia.
I’ve used to think it was impossible to get anything like this if you hardly get out of your house, but I turned out to be wrong: snow shoveling kills . Especially when you get hot, take off your jacket, and later sit down to rest. So don’t you dare to follow my experience!

I felt very lousy on Christmas and spent the New Year in hospital, but now I’m fine and eager to continue working on Fancy CMS. Unfortunately, the release needs to be delayed once more, but I hope this will be the last delay. I need to look through everything once more to estimate how much time is needed to finish, so stay it touch!

Oh, yes: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Thank you for all your comments. We are very proud to hear that our Flash CMS Platform is that much awaited, and at the same time we feel really uncomfortable for making you wait.

We regret to inform you that it was decided to delay the release date a bit. It’s not about the software is not ready yet, or has some major bugs. Everything is fine and works just as good as expected! We just want to spend time optimizing our shopping cart and reworking the whole Ecommerce module.

We are very sorry for making you wait but FancyCMS is an open source project, and we really want developers to have a fun time dealing with it. That is why our beloved platform needs to be released in its best shape!

The release date is 5th of January! Hope you’re even more excited now! Sincere apologies to everyone involved.

It is useless to reject a great meaning of Internet today. In is not just a temporary phenomenon, it has already become a natural part of our life. As the time spins, our life is migrating online, and nobody can predict what will the final point of this process be. Today Internet is not only about business, it is where people socialize, rest, study. It’s not a tool anymore, but a place.

One of the main incarnations of some-one’s online presence is a website, no matter what is the purpose it was created for. But still a creation of website remains to be a prerogative of specially-educated people, and is a kind of a rocket science for majority. People know that developing a website is about coding, and coding is a magic spell for most of them.This is the reason why developers now put so much effort trying to erase this barrier, so that website set up and managing could be a process that can be performed by any human at any moment of time. This is what the main idea of the CMS is.

CMS are a bridge between people and their websites, they allow to set up and manage websites without any specific knowledge. In fact, they work like a magic wand: you do not need to study magic of coding, memorize secret spells (read tags), all you need to do is to wave with your wand and say “I want a website!“…. and here it comes.

Flash technology opens new boundaries in website design. Everything we could not even think about has become possible. The designer of a website is not anymore restricted by anything, and now he can bring even his craziest ideas to life.
Until not so long ago there still was a question of SEO-friendliness of a flash website and its editing usability. Now this problem is almost solved, and Fancy CMS is about to say the last word in this discussion. Everything our team is working at is devoted to make flash website be easy to edit for its owner and to index by search engines.
We work on a CMS that will make editing of any flash website easy as 1-2-3 even for those who are new to this and know nothing about web development or Flash. No matter how crazy the design is, you can always keep your website updated and interactive.
Fancy CMS release date is very close, but to keep you amused while waiting, we have made a collection of beautiful and unusual flash websites. Take a look at it to inspire your imagination!

This website impresses with its simplicity and interactivity: as you navigate through it, it keeps living its own life. The color combination is also great.

Fancy CMS team continues working on the flash CMS to make the day of actual release come sooner. One more important step of work is behind: we’ve made a design for the admin panel. Of course, it still will have to undergo some changes to improve usability, but in general the design is finished.
