Features
Content Management
With bluApple 2.0 you can manage content extremely easy. If you have used a CMS before I think you will be pleased with how easy it is to put manageable content blocks on your pages.
User Management
bluApple has enhanced user management with an API that you can extend to integrate and implement any application as a module. User management in bluApple is simple and easy to use. Future Features of user management which should be released soon, is a membership signup and profile manager.
Dynamic Pages
bluApple has the ability to create dynamic pages from within the administrator. Each page that is created is already search engine ready with extended meta content fields for keywords, page title and description. We have come to call these Meta Pages. Each page contains a content block that evaluates CF Code. With use of the Pages API you can include templates into each meta page for creating customized page content.
Modules
bluApple has a unique structure that allows each module to be 100% self contained and integrated into your website. A Module can be several pages that form an application. With modules you can provide back end functionality to your pages. This is very useful for creating forms or extending your website in ways that are not possible from individual meta pages. Using modules to create front end content is also a great way to keep your site organized.
Friendly URLs
With each page created with bluApple a SEO Friendly URL is created. We use ISAPI Re-Write 3 to re-write the urls. This process is seemless to you as bluApple creates your Re-Write URLs at time of page creation. Custom Re-Writes can be used in conjunction with creating Modules to also provide your module application with SEO friendly URLs.
Role based security
We tried to keep user security super simple and easy to use. Each user can be assigned roles to manage your applications and content. bluApples role based security is implemented with convenient custom tags that wrapper your content.
Theme based templating
bluApple theme based templating makes it easy to create and customize the look and feel of your website and applications. Currently there are no themes available to download. The default theme provides a foundation for creating new themes. This is extremely easy for designers and developers. Check out our documentation for more information on building Theme based templates.

I originally built bluApple as a personal utility to rapidly produce websites. Over several years it has slowly grown into a respectable CMS tool. I feel that with support from the community, bluApple Coldpress can become a contender as one of the top CMS products on the market.
