deCMS uses XML for the database containing the content.
deCMS uses a template or master page as the basis for each web page.
The menu is created from the list of menu items.
The content is created from the text contained under the menu items.
Each page is recreated when the user clicks on Generate HTML Pages.

The content and menu items are maintained via an asp.net program.
The content is edited via a javascript editor called tinyMCE.
This editor accepts straight text and graphics, or for the more technical, it also accepts HTML code.
Images (jpg, gif, bmp) can be maintained via another asp.net program.
These images are incorporated into the tinyMCE editor for easy selection from a dropdown list.

The backend of deCMS is password protected, so there is a reasonable level of security.
Nothing like Joomla, but then again, who needs all that?
deCMS is driven via a menu, once the user has logged in.

deCMS uses javascript for much of the backend and frontend functions.
The frontend uses a javascript program written by me to provide extra functionality and features such as Email a Friend, Contact Us form, use of LightBox for displaying graphics, automatic slideshow, display RSS feeds, and heaps more features.

deCMS is search engine friendly and is easy to customise with your own title, keywords, description, etc.
The template can also be editted via an asp.net program.
