    Hi there,

    I’ve read an article about CMS systems with desktop backend/client. Anyone knows anything about? Some links or names would be great!

    Regards,

    Dima

      Macromedia (now Adobe) Contribute comes to mind.

          I think you are chained to your desk or must have your laptop with you in order to make page edits. It also does not provide an API in which you can build custom applications. It’s definitely a CMS, and not a CMF like MODx. But it is a good product I suspect for the right application.

            I’m just looking for the system, where I can manage Databases/catalogs on easy way. smiley

              That’s probably not best suited for Contribute. But I don’t know if there’s DB addons available for it.
