Windu CMS

Windu CMS is one of the best looking CMS scripts you'll find around.

Benefiting from an absolutely stunning administration panel, Windu makes the task of managing the site a pure pleasure for administrators and editors alike.

The overall admin panel might look a little bit different from what you might have encountered with other CMS scripts, but nothing really that innovative to confuse anyone.

Everything is managed from the admin dashboard, and the same dashboard where other data like statistics, system logs, notifications or messages can be read as well.

Windu provides a powerful management suite for any website and a pretty versatile core for building the website itself.

While the free version is full of enough features to get a project of the ground, lots of extra goodies are also packed with the commercial license to merit at least a look or inquiry.
