In 2003 David Simmons started a project to build an open source CMS system for both personal and commercial use.
The CMS was intended to be simple to use, since there was a variety of CMS software available but the problem was that they were difficult to work with.
In 2005 David stopped his project en since than his CMS system could not be downloaded from the internet.
I worked with David’s CMS for over 4 years now and started this website to make this CMS available to the public again, off course it’s still open source.

iWare is a powerful and versatile web based content management system designed to make creating a professional web presence easy without the associated hassles of learning to program or master a 3rd party application.

features

iWare modular framework enables you to embed web applications into your content by simply choosing a module from the content authoring interface.
