Cikefallinos CMS

About the project

Every business needs the same things: to be found on Google, to be compliant with cookies, to receive messages, to be secure. With Cikefallinos CMS they have them from day one — and every improvement reaches all sites with one update.

Each client has their own app and database. We design the blocks for their brand; the client writes the content, easily, in Greek.

In Greek, with preview before publishing, scheduled publishing, a recycle bin and a change history — no mistake is final.

Security without plugins

It uses no third-party plugins — and according to Patchstack, that is where more than 9 in 10 WordPress vulnerabilities are found. Everything the site needs is written, tested and maintained by us.
