The Home Of Spectra CMS

A new Content Management System built from the ground up to be safe, secure, and flexible.

Look for the release date on or before December 3, 2023.

You're looking at the Hero Page feature in use.

Spectra is the most flexible Content Management System that can be found anywhere. I originally created Spectra to be used at Coders Junction (my main website). It's not a fork, but a brand-new Content Management System. My design is focused on providing effortless installation, usage, and required tools for a successful website. Spectra offers a range of features, including content blocks, content sniplets, plugins, modules, menu systems, articles, pages, download suites, image galleries, and more.

Please take some time to read all about Spectra while you're here and thanks for stopping by.

Repositioning

Blocks, sniplets, and articles can be repositioned on the homepage at any time. Simply click on the arrow icon  to open the editing window to drag and drop them into their new position.

Sidebars

Spectra comes equipped with sidebars that can house the content blocks and sniplets. You can turn them on and off to suit your needs or while making edits and when it comes time to move blocks around within the sidebar, simply drag and drop the block into its new position. It's quick and easy.

Direct Editing

Spectra lets the administrator browse the entire site and edit content directly without leaving the page you are on. If you see a typo there is no need to go back to the dashboard to correct it. Simply click on the edit icon at the bottom of the content area and edit the content from the editing window. When finished, save it and close the editing window.

- About Spectra -

Spectra is a modern Content Management System/Blog, not a fork, and I have developed it from the ground up to provide for your every need in site design.

There are many powerhouse Content Management Systems out there now, but you need an in-depth study of them to get started.

Lots of people give up trying to get a site up and going. That’s where Spectra is unique.

The primary preference in the design process was to make this CMS user-friendly.  Once you have initially installed Spectra, you can set up and operate your full site from within the dashboards.

Upgrade, and back up your full website, back up your database, import/export themes, and a whole lot more.

Themes

The powerful theme builder allows you to edit themes and also build new ones.  No more files to edit or upload just open the theme builder and start creating.  Once you become comfortable with the settings you will be able to build a new theme in 5 minutes or less.

Don't like the look of something in your theme, go back and edit it at any time.

Themes are flexible and there is also the option of sharing the themes you make with others. Importing and exporting themes is really easy and only takes a minute.

Pages

Spectra allows you to build as many pages as you need.  Each page can have sidebars, plugins, videos, and lots more and each page can be totally different than all of the others.

The powerful page builder is user-friendly and allows you to fully customize each page to suit your needs.

You get to choose if you want to add sidebars to the page and you also get to put any content you want into the sidebars.  Plugins are pre-made but you can choose which ones to display on your new page if any.  And the really good thing is that you can turn any page on or off when making edits.  Come back to the page at any time to make edits.

Downloads Suite

Next, you will want to create the pages to house the files. The last step will add the downloads to the database. Upload a .zip or .pdf file and assign it to a page, assign a category, and add a title.

The articles allow you to post a wide range of content. Just like the blocks, you can post videos, pictures, text, and links to mention a few. You can choose how many articles to show on the Home Page. Other articles outside that limit are accessed through the pagination feature (Articles Settings) located at the top or bottom or both of the center articles (you chose).

Their purpose is to get the attention of a visitor to your website by providing an eye-catching snippet of text (teaser text) and image that links to larger articles or other content. They are assigned to groups within rows and each group can hold as many sniplets as you want to add.

Sniplets are highly configurable. The height, width, image position, and the read more feature make them easy to fit into the overall homepage design.

The read more feature allows you to add additional text to further define the teaser text.

Create your image gallery and show it to the world.
