How long would it take with your current CMS to complete installation, customize the UI for your project and get your authors entering content? Let's see how long it takes with Magnolia!
speed is important for every project and there are fast tools for building websites out there but they lack the powerful features you need for serious projects when you choose a feature packed Enterprise CMS though things can get really slow enter Magnolia it offers the power and flexibility your projects demand at the speed you need want to see fast how long would it take with your CMS to install it customize the UI for your project and get your authors entering content let's see how fast we can do it in magnolia magnolia can be downloaded installed and started with our handy CLI tool installed and running in 4 minutes and 20 seconds of course the biggest time savings are in the development process significant web projects have many roles back-end developers front-end developers content authors creating and managing the content when they can work in parallel you ship sooner Magnolia's light development and excellent headless support make this possible because it decouples the front end and the back end work light development means developers can work in simple text files with magnolias new content types it's incredibly fast to create a custom authoring UI all it takes to get your editors entering content is 16 lines of configuration that's less than any other CMS authors entering content in 8 minutes and 10 seconds done but wait it's also really easy to create a rest endpoint for the front-end developers just like with the content types I only need a file with four lines of configuration rest endpoint live that's a complete headless setup in 9 minutes and 35 seconds that was headless but what about traditional server-side rendering with the page editor same story with light development we just need 3 files to create a templating component the CLI helps me create them ok that's a mini hybrid headless project in 10 minutes and 50 seconds in parallel back Enders can perform any custom integration with Java code what about deployment because we're using light development everything is supplied as simple text files in a directory we call this a light module simply push the light module to your production instance and your changes are deployed and instantly live these fast iterations are great for continuous delivery what you just saw was obviously a simple demo project but these same mechanisms accelerate big projects just as dramatically think how much further you could go in your projects if you had this kind of speed
