We are now live running our upcoming product: ContentBox.  We are so excited about migrating our entire site and now even sporting a great blog which we call our Ortus BlogBox, in tradition of our *Box products.  So please stay tuned to our blog concerning information about our products, trainings, professional open source, CFML and overall web development.  So stick around!

ContentBox is a professional open source modular content management engine that allows you to easily build websites, blogs, wikis, complex web applications and even power mobile or cloud applications.  Built with a secure and flexible modular core, designed to scale, and combined with world-class support, ContentBox will get your projects out the door in no time.

ContentBox is built with a solid professional open source framework foundation; The ColdBox Platform, which has been powering web applications since 2005 and used by thousands of developers worldwide.  Used by clients like NASA JPL, ESRI, Adobe TV, NASA Kennedy Space Center, Equator Financial, FAA, GE, and much more, The ColdBox Platform has become the Object Oriented application framework of choice for premierColdFusion developers around the world.  Combined with its full-stack of features, java and hibernate integration, professional support, architecture and design services, ColdBox is the framework of choice for ColdFusion web development.

For Geeks:

ContentBox is not a traditional and monolithic CMS, blog or wiki application, but a combination of software modules that will provide you with CMS, blog and wiki capabilities or enhance any ColdBox application with these capabilities.  No longer be restricted by the application's extension points, but extend and scale modularly.  Under the hood ContentBox is powered by Java, ColdFusion, event driven programming and Hibernate; the de-facto standard object relational mapper.  Our entire infrastructure is built with scalability and cloud deployment in mind.

Community Connected:

ContentBox is connected out of the box to our open source software community; ForgeBox(www.coldbox.org/forgebox) from where it can auto-updated itself or install any community contribution.  Any developer world-wide can contribute and register their plugins, themes, widgets, modules, interceptors, etc in ForgeBox and every ContentBox installation will have access to their contributions in real time.  Collaborate and extend!
