About Magnolia

Simple is beautiful

At Magnolia, we focus on providing an outstanding user experience that encompasses all of the product's lifecycle, not just a nice GUI. Your content can be published to a large audience, your business tools can be integrated easily and support is just a phone call (or email) away. The result: no worries. Magnolia. Simple Enterprise Content Management.

Easy-to-use

Everybody claims their software is easy-to-use, so with all other benefits Magnolia offers you might wonder why we mention it at all. If it were only for the nice words, easy-to-use would be a non-feature. But at Magnolia we know that nice icons are no substitute for rigorous user interaction design. We understand that ease-of-use offers serious business value, and so do our customers.

Extensible

Magnolia is easily extended through a number of innovative features - a packaging module allows the easy deployment of any modifications you have made, a module concept lets you add functionality without touching the source code of Magnolia, and the easy templating mechanisms allow you to simply extend Magnolia even without writing java code.

Battle-tested

Magnolia started development in early 2003, and has seen more than 160'000 downloads. Thousands of websites around the world are running Magnolia today and enjoy our early investment in the technologies relevant today.

Scalable

Magnolia has been designed for enterprise requirements - with its low memory footprint, a high-performance cache and built-in clustering capabilities, Magnolia shines where others crumble, and makes high-performance websites simple.

Standards-Based

Magnolia is based on standards so that its easy for you to exchange data, to implement custom additions and to hire personell that already knows how to work with the technologies we use.

Supported

Magnolia Enterprise Edition is available with the support option of your choice. Companies around the world enjoy the peace of mind that a support contract with us provides.

Open Source

Developers love open source products because it makes modifications easy. Enterprises love open source because it provides security. There is no expensive "vendor-only" consulting needed to make Magnolia do what you want (but we happily provide support if you need it).

Magnolia has been Open Source from day one. Source availability has many advantages amply discussed elsewhere, so we will not repeat them here. Source-code availablity eases integration tasks a great deal, and integration is a major part of building value-added websites. So what better way to add value than to provide you with the sources?

You can download Magnolia CE directly from SourceForge.
