SyntaxCMS is an open source content management system developed and, with a paid support or development agreement, supported by Forum One Communications and other developers. It provides a powerful, scalable, extremely flexible, and cost-effective platform for development of audience-centric online services.
The core of Syntax CMS is a flexible platform and administrative tool set for managing your initiative's information and Web presence.

Secure, Web-based |
The SyntaxCMS administrative interface is only accessible by authorized users, who are authenticated by username and password pair. Because the interface is Web-based, content administrators from around the world can always access the information management tools that will power your Web site. |

Content Architecture Management |
SyntaxCMS allows authorized administrators to dynamically control a site’s content hierarchy, making it possible for business users to easily change the a site’s navigation and information presentation without the involvement of technical staff or programming of any kind ( Figure 1: Adding sections to your site. ) |

Add, Modify, & Remove Content |
SyntaxCMS provides simple Web-forms for adding and removing content. All of site content is defined as ’content types’. Each content type is made up of it’s own unique fields, which can be customized to meet your specific information needs. SyntaxCMS provides several ready-made content types for customization, these include:
These content objects fit most existing content needs. |

The categories and classifications for browsing will be finalized during the planning stages of this project. |
