BardCanvas is a Multi-purpose engine and Content Management System based on the LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) authored by LAVA SoftWorks and released to the world as Open Source. It works like most CMSs out on the wild, and though it is heavily influenced by WordPress, it has several differences in its design. • It is built from the ground up with optimization in mind. • It is faster and consumes a lot less RAM. • It uses a templating system that is easy to understand and implement. • It has a library where you can find both free and premium modules and templates. • All modules are made with extensibility in mind, so developers can extend or reuse modules authored by other developers. • It has an universal settings editorso everything can be found in a single place. • It has several cache levels that are used according their relevance. • It doesn't collapse the server in high traffic circumstances. • It can be clustered without changes. • All code is easy to understand.
