Nimbus CMS
Features for complete managed websites
Explore Nimbus CMS features: remote admin, visual RTE blocks, page templates, media variants, first-party SEO, forms, stats, backups, audit, product catalog, Stripe Checkout, and e-commerce-ready plugin APIs.
Nimbus is designed around the website owner workflow: create a simple presentation site with pages, menus, media, forms, SEO, stats, and backups, then add catalog or Stripe Checkout blocks only when the business needs products or payments.
Core website capabilities
The core stays intentionally small. Complete website behavior comes from official plugins that can be installed, configured, disabled, and later replaced.
Pages, menus, templates, and visual RTE blocks
Build page structures that editors understand: local links, media picker, inline design elements, one draft, theme page templates, and menu ordering.
SEO strong enough to be a default, not an add-on
Guided metadata, schema, canonicals, redirects, sitemap output, robots directives, social images, and 404 intelligence are first-party.
A control plane for every website you manage
Connect sites by URL and key, switch between them, see global stats, preview themes, and run authenticated operations without installing a heavy admin UI on each public site.
Stats, backups, forms, audit, and health checks
Run the workflows a complete website actually needs, with aggregate-first stats and backups stored as structured JSON plus selected storage files.
Catalog and checkout are official page blocks
Product catalog handles browsable product content with optional categories and photos. E-commerce adds simple Stripe Checkout buy boxes for pages that need payments.
Commerce-ready modules are part of the same editor workflow: product catalog blocks handle optional categories, optional photos, filters, and lightbox galleries, while the e-commerce plugin adds checkout products, admin-managed Stripe onboarding, and Stripe Checkout buy boxes.

For developers
Plugin APIs are the extension surface. A plugin can ship migrations, capabilities, admin modules, protocol actions, RTE block metadata, editor previews, settings fields, and public renderers.
- Add a countdown, pricing table, gallery, news module, directory, or booking workflow as a plugin.
- Expose editor blocks with icons, defaults, preview behavior, settings fields, and a runtime renderer.
- Keep the core responsible for boot, routing, plugin and theme registries, permissions, hooks, storage, migrations, remote API, and errors.
- Build control-plane screens without forcing that UI into the visitor-facing runtime.
Install-worthy direction
