Traditional CMSs (Content Management Systems) are general systems and not optimised for any particular use case.
Editors can be difficult to use and the resulting websites are not always optimised for performance or security.
For many enterprises, their key concerns are about securely sharing content with audiences in a performant and scalable way. Separation of content or ‘gated’ content is also a key security requirement.
Content as a service
GraphQL, Gatsby, Hasura, Serverless
Easy integration, powerful feature set
In addition, many organisations want to be able to customise the creation process around their own users and content for the best experience and efficiency. There are limited options to do this with a traditional CMS.
Orion is an opinionated architecture for producing statically generated sites.
It allows for gated content and is highly secure and reliable. Orion’s integrated editor allows full customisation of editing and workflow around content and teams.
Built for performance from the ground up, Orion uses leading edge tools to provide the very best possible load times for all assets. Using a serverless deployment, Orion is massively scalable to millions of users.
