Product Description:

Big Medium is an elegant, browser-based content management system that allows even the most non-technical staff to publish web content without touching HTML. Simply fill out a web form with the content to be published and, with the click of a button, Big Medium publishes articles and images to your website in your site's own look and feel. Big Medium's WYSIWYG text editing means that no knowledge of HTML is required.

Exceptionally easy to use, the software is also powerful enough to manage large, fast-changing websites. All the while, Big Medium keeps your entire site up to date and immaculate, highlighting the most recent articles with squeaky-clean HTML or XHTML that is always compliant with W3C web standards. No more broken links, either: When you add or edit a webpage, Big Medium updates all of the links to that page, keeping your entire site up to date in a simple one-step process.

One installation of Big Medium can manage hundreds of sites on a single server, each with its own unique design. Use one of the pre-formatted "skins" for your site design or customize your own templates for full control over HTML. Multiple accounts allow an unlimited number of contributors to publish content with five levels of permissions. Page caching makes Big Medium gentle on your server, even for thousands of articles and millions of site visitors.

Plus: WYSIWYG editing; document uploads; content syndication via RSS or via JavaScript to other websites; unlimited images and pullquotes for every article page; "e-mail to a friend" function for all articles; printer-friendly pages; and site backups and duplication.

I've been using BM2 in production since the early beta stages. It's rock solid, endlessly customizable, plug-in-able...
Support is amazing, and I have yet to see a developer more responsive.

I now build websites in hours, not days, ad have computer unsavvy clients happily updating their own sites.
