A modern CMS for MORT

mortcms - A Simple, Modern CMS for MORT

Goals

1. Maintainability

• Easy to understand
• No code required for common tasks

2. Simplicity

• Good Comments
• No custom magic
• Use of good libraries where possible

3. Speed

• Look more professional with a more responsive website

Dependencies

We use external libraries to do as much heavy lifting as possible, so we depend on:

• flask
  • Flask-SQLAlchemy
  • Flask-Assets
• pycrypto

Tradeoffs made for Goals

We've had to make a few design choices in pursuit of the goals above.

• CDN Use
  • We use CDNs for non-debug runs as they ensure good delivery of prebuilt libraries
  • If mortcms is run in debug mode, resources are served unminified to ease debugging

TODO

• Setup lesscss so we can use Bootstrap mixins
