What is a Hybrid CMS

Universal Visual Editor

Universal Visual Editor, our single-page application (SPA) visual editor - gives your marketing team an undisrupted editor experience, regardless of the content delivery model.

We built Universal Visual Editor to make dotCMS the only true Hybrid CMS on the market. We give your team access to intuitive authoring features — including inline editing, layout design, personalization, drag and drop, and more — no matter how your content is delivered, closing the usability gap marketers find in a pure headless cms.

Key Features

Create the ultimate customer experience across all channels, devices, and touchpoints - with an undisrupted authoring environment to stay ahead of the competition and maximize ROI.

Publishing Freedom

With dotCMS you are able to preview future or past experiences. In addition, both static and dynamic content publishing are supported simultaneously. dotCMS also gives content creators the ability to schedule campaigns and use the TimeMachine.

API-First

Everything in dotCMS is content - and all content (including permissions and relationships) is exposed over modern REST APIs to future proof your content.

Multi-Channel

On dotCMS Cloud you can manage hundreds or even thousands of sites and channels from one centralized platform. This centralized platform makes it simple to share content across your ecosystem and reduce inconsistencies while creating a consistent experience.

Multi-Cloud

The flexibility to deploy on a public or private cloud (or even self-hosted) at the same time delivers the tailored level of control and reduces the costs of any IT budget.
