What is Visionary?
The Visionary CMS is a content management system which was developed especially to satisfy the HTML5 standard. HTML5 is a recent browser‘s standard which makes it possible to deliver multimedia contents simply and cross-system wise to the client.
Visionary is based on the programming technical MVC-Framework Symfony which leads to a very organized, safe and simply extensible programming structure. Visionary uses all features of PHP 7 or higher, exactly like Symfony does, too.
The frontend component of Symfony, which composes the modules and provides them for animations, is based on the javascript library jQuery. So Visionary is highly prepared for the web's future.
Why is Visionary so special?
Visionary delivers content to browsers in an especially organized way . This enables transition effects that depend on the display mode and on the kind of content. The site designer only has to take care of animations. All other required information will be served to him on a "silver platter", packaged into an event system.
The frontend engine offers page-wise reloading using AJAX, so the visual flow of the webpage is not interrupted by antiquated page refreshs anymore.
If the frontend engine is deactivated, for example while using a browser without javascript, the system will display a normal webpage without any required adjustments or switches.
Visionary takes care of standards
Visionary takes care of standards that are established in the content management industry like multilingualism, modular extensibility, richtext editing, direct url mechanisms or variant types of administration roles. Visionary is completly SEO- and search engine compatible.
The Visionary CMS is an HTML5-CMS, Flash-CMS, Symfony-CMS and AJAX-CMS at the same time. It is capable of delivering HTML5 content to the browser directly or XML to a Flash/Actionscript 3 engine.
Who is Visionary made for?
