Softonic review

A lightweight and modular CMS

When it comes to content management, WordPress is arguably the most popular. Launched in 2003, the platform has become a major part of the internet since. It provides many users with tools to create feature-packed websites and blogs using its extensive functions. However, website building has come a long way since, and there are a lot of CMS programs available nowadays. Pagekit is a new and lightweight content management system software. It provides you with tools that help you create websites, from simple blogs to web services and company websites. An open-source project founded by YOOtheme, this productivity app comes with a clean and intuitive interface that simplifies the process of website building

Not yet an alternative

At first glance, Pagekit looks to be a nice alternative to the other CMS's out there. The UI is clean and modern-looking, with its developer's ecosystem looking incredibly friendlier. Their plugin system is also well-built. Moreover, the app comes packed with some nifty default function, including the HTML & Markdown editor, which provided real-time preview, syntax highlighting, and full-screen mode. There is also a handy file manager, which uploads media files and manages files and folder structures. It also has sufficient default settings for both the site and the blog/comments side. Moreover, it allows collaboration among teams. 

However, that is not to say that the app does not come without faults. Firstly, Pagekit goes against protocol and puts the entry point to the app into the root folder instead of the public subfolder. This may result in serious security implications. Secondly, Pagekit URLs are pretty ugly. You need to enable the module for you to get a better one. Furthermore, though it is beautiful, the default theme is pretty standard, which can make all the sites you may look the same. 

All in all, while Pagekit is a workable CMS, it still cannot hold a candle to WordPress. However, it has more potential than other similar apps, such as Ghost. It just needs to perfect its default state, so it does not rely on extensions to make an amazing web page.
