Exponent CMS

This allows designers and coders to create websites without directly coding Web pages, all with the help of a easy to use visual interface.

As like most similar CMS products, Exponent comes with a friendly installation wizard and a comprehensive administration panel where various site features can be enabled or tweaked.

Other features like user and menu management are of course included, as with the possibility of extending built-in features via modules and themes.

All in all a pretty solid CMS, also usable for some e-commerce operations.
