Let's make the web beautiful again!
Smartest is a piece of software designed for creating, editing and maintaining beautiful websites.
Ideas should come first, and then the technology to implement them. That's what we believe, and that's what Smartest is about.
There's lots of software for creating and maintaining websites. Only Smartest is focused on freeing designers from the compromises usually required by that software. It's genuinely a content management system for designers.

Content Management System Software
Are you new to content management? Basically it's a type of tool that lets the content on a website stay alive and fresh without needing to do more coding.
Not ready yet?
Smartest has tons of features, and an increasingly exciting roadmap to match.
If you're still not sure that free, fully supported, insanely flexible, standards-compliant software is for you, perhaps you'd like to read more about the content management features Smartest has to offer.
Innovative architecture
Smartest's code is structured like an entire operating system, because operating systems are the most versatile type of software.
Operating systems allow users to quickly switch between tasks, and to access their existing files and data from any program at any time.
Other software that wants this flexibility can learn a lot from operating system design.
Despite being a relatively young piece of software, Smartest is already reaping the benefits of learning these lessons early. For example, Smartest can support "apps" - any user with specific needs can use Smartest's internal public APIs to integrate their own code with the rest of Smartest.
Not sure what "public APIs" are? don't worry. All this means is that there are easy ways of triggering the specific functionalities that Smartest offers within your own code.
What Smartest is not
Rather than being an application that you run on your Mac or PC, Smartest runs on a web server, which means it can be accessed from anywhere.
So after downloading Smartest, instead of trying to get it to run on your computer, you'll need a web server to upload it to. If you aren't sure what that means, click here.
Smartest is even easier to install than the excellent Wordpress, so if you have ever installed Wordpress, Smartest will be no problem.
Every website a system
Gone are the days when websites were flat and brochure-like. While branding guildelines and design concepts may change slowly, and require effort, information should not be held back. Speed counts! Smartest is a communication tool that helps you keep information fresh while you take your time on the eye candy. Read more.
