Integration over repetition
CCK is designed with integration with other systems in mind. The module extension system is light and architecture shallow to make it easier to write push-pull APIs from external websites. The openness of the system architecture means integration with popular internet gardens like Facebook and Twitter is trivial. Your website does not have to be or beat the larger sites just connect to them and take advantage of their software services.
Build anything not be everything
CCK comes with a basic set of modules needed to provide the most important functions but not more. There is no repository of hundreds or thousands of extensions to choose from as CCK is not trying to be a one-size-fits-all CMS. CCK is designed for prototyping a web application or website quickly and requires a minimal of time and resources by knowledgeable PHP programmers. This allows clients to use their resources to hire people to build to their requirements. Saving money on experts in tearing down systems only to build them up again in the needed form. Think of it as plastic building blocks versus 3D printing.
Responsive
Responsive mobile first layouts are the standard for the web today. But a future foward system is not one that attempts to provide fully finished presentations to all. Because no matter how beautiful the theme or useful the layout that is purchased or given a certain amount of custom work is always necessary to make it fit your requirements. This is why CCK comes with a single responsive theme that can be modified to suit. Rather than creating dozens of similar themes. Efforts are put in to making the template system easy to use while maintaining flexibility for customization by designers and front-end architects.
Separation of Management and Presentation
CCK is not a system for that will provide design and layout features to content writers. The future of
content management is for systems to only manage content and leave the presentation of the content to the design and web structure. HTML should not be stored and does not have to be. The most successful internet gardens like Twitter and Facebook have gotten along just fine without WYSIWYG editors. Website builders that support HTML5 and responsive design can make it possible for second layer content management systems that are free of the complexities that occur when a system tries to be all for all. It is for these reasons CCK does not try to be a yesteryear CMS and a site building tool.
Flexible licensing
The days and time of copy left licensing is over. Everyone should admit that and accept the fact that there are better ways to protect intellectual property and rights of developers. CCK is proprietary at the core but all extensions and derivatives are open to be sold and distributed as new products. Open source should not mean being forced to give up a competitive advantage by handing over your hard work to others without compensation.
Demo ready
You never have to request a demonstration of CCK or go to some special website for a showing . CCK is so light and easy to maintain that having a demo of it's features online is trivial. Installation is simple and the requirements so little that CCK can be run on any up-to-date shared host.
Affordable prices
The quality of software is not determined by it's price. Just as it's worth is not the same for everyone. If this were true the best software would always be unaffordable to most while the worst software would always be free. FHQK Universal provides a scaled pricing scheme to everyone. Pay us what you believe the software is worth to you or your company.
