About ZKEACMS
ZKEACMS is a WYSIWYG content management system built on .NET with visual page design. Editors design layouts by dragging rows and columns, add content through widgets, which are HTML components that can be placed in zones and reordered by drag and drop, and see the result as they work. The project README includes both Chinese and English sections.
Layouts are based on the Bootstrap 3 grid, pages are responsive across devices, and themes are created with LESS by changing variables. Settings allow switching the interface culture to English. It runs on Microsoft SQL Server 2016 or newer, MySQL 5.6 or newer, or SQLite, and can be published with scripts, as a NuGet-based publisher, or in Docker. Demo sites, videos and a multi-tenant demo are linked.
ZKEACMS is licensed under GPL-3.0, with a separate note in the README for commercial users, and it is self-hosted on your own Windows or Linux server. It suits .NET developers, agencies and site owners who want visual page building without writing templates by hand.
