UMBRELLA is currently developing UMBRELLA CMS. UMBRELLA Consulting – Content Management System, U-CMS for short, is a unified platform for managing web contents. U-CMS approach is rather different than other CMS such as Joomla! or Drupal.

U-CMS is merging together many different web technologies and gives to the developer – programmer a unified and common language to create, design and alter these web contents. U-CMS also offers a unique way to solve problems, avoid errors and forget about warnings and bugs. In a few words, U-CMS is a framework that integrates its own A.P.I, sets its own features and introduces a unified programming language. The U-CMS meta-language is called UMBRELLA - Web Script and is a subset of UMBRELLA – Script.

U-CMS is based on the most recent web standards, the most powerful development languages, the most proven databases and smart libraries.

Web standards:

  • HTML / XHTML
  • XML
  • SMIL

Development languages:

  • PHP
  • Java Script
  • AJAX
  • Java / Java Servlets
  • C++

Databases:

  • MySQL
  • MS-SQL

Libraries

  • J-QUERY
  • Moo Tools

U-CMS also comes with an advanced “What You See Is What You Get” (WYSIWYG) web editor that gives the ability to the developer – programmer or to the final user to edit visually in real time all the web contents in the front end.

In conclusion, U-CMS is an easy, flexible and unified platform for fast and reliable development of professional, advanced and high quality web content.
