Splash Frog icon
Splash Frog has humble beginnings. Since 2007 Splash Frog has been growing… evolving. It all started from a group of programmers looking at what kind of content management systems that were already in existince and asking themselves what worked… and what didn’t. After seeing the software out that had some nice features but missing others to extremely bloated code and databases, these young minds decided to create a roadmap of all that they liked about these inpidual CMS’s and build their own. The end result was Splash Frog. At first it was designed to just manage only one website at a time, and the interface wasn’t very user-friendly. Splash Frog was released as 1.0, and feedback came to them from those that wanted to see more functionality… and a better interface. 2.0 came and went, as it was a more of a learning curve to just see what limits that they can do. Version 3.0 came with a slew of newer features and a much improved interface. Again the feedback was coming in – the newer features being praised and the interface being liked much more than before. With the latest version, 4.0, Splash Frog has re-defined itself – making the interface more intuitive and expanding on more of the core features. With this release also comes the opening of our online community – where the users of Splash Frog can come together and share their experiences. Splash Frog is brought to you with a wide array of features right out of the box that any standard website would have their needs met right from the start. Those websites that are looking for more persity Splash Frog is still able to meet your needs with the ever-expanding selection of addons, known as “modules”. Some of the key points of Splash Frog include: Multi-Site Management Splash Frog will allow you to be able to manage multiple websites from one install. This makes management and applying any updates to the system that much easier! Simple Yet Powerful Splash Frog’s administration interface is designed to make it easy for someone to get the job done quickly and not waste time looking for the area they need. This is done very well without sacrificing the quality of control the administrator has over their website. No Programming Knowledge Required Splash Frog’s webpage editor utilizes one of the best online Rich Text Editors out there. If your administrators know how Microsoft Word (or something equivilant) is able to work, they will have no problem using Splash Frog’s webpage editor. For those of you who like to “get to the code”, the editor still provides you a simple toggle to view the code to make any changes you want to the code you want! Built From the Ground Up Splash Frog doesn’t rely on someone else’s interpretation of how a website management tool should work. The entire code framework was designed with Splash Frog’s interface, functionality, and expandability in mind, making the code slim and streamlined – no bloated code in here! Custom Administration Levels Control who has administrative access to what parts of the Splash Frog system. From system-wide administrators all the way down to who can edit a webpage on what site, the controls are in your hands – they can even vary from website to website in a single Splash Frog install! No Special Setup Required Splash Frog does not need any special platform or additional “background” software to run. If you have a standard LAMP setup, you are set to run Splash Frog! 99% of webhosts will be able to accomodate Splash Frog from the start! Expand with Modules With an already rich set of options and controls from the start, you can expand Splash Frog even further with addons called Modules. These modules will allow you to have extra functionality such as a Blog, a Picture Gallery, or an E-Commerce store all from the same system! Looking Towards Tomorrow Splash Frog is looking towards the future. The framework and abilities of Splash Frog utilize the latest that PHP, MySQL and Javascript has to offer for the standard web administration, and is continually looking to incorporate other technology such as Mobile Apps and touch-screen capabilities.
