Click anything and change it
Text, photos, buttons, menus and cards: click them on your real page and type.
Features
Everything you need to keep your website up to date
Clear CMS is built around one idea: the easiest way to change a website is to click on it. Here is everything that comes with it.
At a glance
See every change on every screen
Switch the live preview between desktop, tablet and phone while you edit.
Work in a draft, publish with one button
Changes stay private until you press Publish.
Every version kept, any one restored
See who changed what and when, and step back in one click.
A media library that stays tidy
Folders, tags and galleries, and a description on every photo.
Photos framed right on every screen
Pick the focus point and zoom for desktop and phone separately.
Your site in every language you need
Each page in several languages, with auto-translate for a first draft.
Invite your team
Everyone gets their own login and sees only their own site.
Your content stays yours
Open files in your own storage. Export the whole site as a zip at any time.
Looks and layouts that fit your brand
Themeable templates: colours, fonts, spacing, card styles and block layouts.
Fast sites on your own domain
Served from Cloudflare's global network, on your own domain, with automatic SSL.
Visitor stats and help built in
See how many people visit, and find a "?" next to anything that needs explaining.
A closer look
Edit on the page
Click anything and change it
No back-office forms, and no guessing which box controls which part of the page. Open your site in Clear CMS, click the headline and type. Swap a photo, rename a button, change where it links, reorder the menu. Click the background of a section to select the whole section and change its layout, width and look. What you see is exactly what visitors will get.
Desktop and phone
See every change on every screen
Many of your visitors are on a phone. Flip the preview to phone size at any moment and check that the new headline fits and the photo still looks right, before anyone else sees it.
Drafts and publishing
Work in a draft, publish with one button
Everything you change is saved as a draft as you go. Take your time, ask a colleague to have a look, then publish it all with one button. Visitors never see a half-finished page.
History
Every version kept, any one restored
Clear CMS keeps every saved version of every page, with the name of the person who made the change. Deleted something by accident? Restore it. Want last month's wording back? Restore that too. Restoring adds a new version, so nothing is ever lost.
Media library
A media library that stays tidy
Upload once, use anywhere. Sort photos into folders, tag them, build galleries, and see where each photo is used. Add a short description (alt text) so people using screen readers, and search engines, know what the photo shows.
Photo framing
Photos framed right on every screen
A wide banner and a narrow phone screen need different crops of the same photo. Set the focus point and zoom for each, so faces and logos never get cut off.
Multilingual
Your site in every language you need
Turn on the languages your site uses and edit each version on the page, just like the original. Auto-translate fills in a first draft; someone who speaks the language reads it before it goes live. Visitors switch language with one click.
Your team
Invite your team
Invite staff and volunteers by email. Each person signs in with their own account, with email or Google, and only ever sees the site they work on. An agency can look after many clients without mix-ups.
Hosting
Fast sites on your own domain
Your site loads quickly wherever your visitors are. Connect the web address you already own; the security certificate (the padlock in the browser) is set up and renewed for you.
Yours to keep
Your content stays yours
Every page, setting and photo is saved as plain files in the open Mosaic format, in storage you control, not locked in a database only we can read. Download the whole site as a zip whenever you like, to keep a backup or to move.
Stats and help
Visitor stats and help built in
Simple visitor stats show which pages people read, without extra tools. And wherever a setting might be unclear, a "?" button explains it in plain English, with a link to the full guide.
Templates
Looks and layouts that fit your brand
Start from a template and make it yours: pick colours and fonts, choose how roomy the spacing is and how cards look, then build pages from ready-made blocks. The same content can wear a completely different look.
