Kotti is a high-level, Pythonic web application framework. It includes a small and extensible CMS application called the Kotti CMS. _

Kotti is most useful when you are developing applications that

• have complex security requirements,
• use workflows, and/or
• work with hierarchical data.

Built on top of a number of best-of-breed software components, most notably Pyramid and SQLAlchemy, Kotti introduces only a few concepts of its own, thus hopefully keeping the learning curve flat for the developer.

You can try out the built-in CMS on Kotti's demo page.

The Kotti CMS is a content management system that's heavily inspired by Plone. Its main features are:

• User-friendliness: editors can edit content where it appears; thus the edit interface is contextual and intuitive
• WYSIWYG editor: includes a rich text editor
• Responsive design: Kotti builds on Twitter Bootstrap, which looks good both on desktop and mobile
• Templating: you can extend the CMS with your own look & feel with almost no programming required
• Add-ons: install a variety of add-ons and customize them as well as many aspects of the built-in CMS by use of an INI configuration file
• Security: the advanced user and permissions management is intuitive and scales to fit the requirements of large organizations
• Internationalized: the user interface is fully translatable, Unicode is used everywhere to store data
