Pixie is a open source web application that will help you quickly create your own website. Many people refer to this type of software as a content management system (cms), we prefer to call it a small, simple, website maker. Pixie was released on May 1st 2008 and has gained a strong following in the Open Source community.
Pixie is an award winning CMS that has been downloaded over 27,000 times and translated into 17 languages. In 2009 Pixie took the runner up prize in the Packt publishing Open Source CMS awards in the category of "most promising open source CMS". In 2010 all eyes will be on Pixie to improve on last years result.
You are buying the brand, website, intellectual property/copyright of the code base and assets detailed below. I would like to remain part of Pixie's history and retain a mention on the relevant Wikis. The website will be moved to your own servers as part of the sale.
Why the sale?
A great deal of time and effort has been put into Pixie over the last few years and reaching the decision to sell has not been easy for me. I have reached the point where I need to focus on my main business (toggle) and cannot dedicate my time to developing the project and its business models. If the project remains open source I would intend to keep active in the forums and possibly provide bug fixes for the 1.0x branch as well.
Here is what you get:
Domain Names
The following domains are included in the sale:
- getpixie.co.uk (main url - including all blog posts, wiki/support content, demo site and user guides)
- pixieapp.co.uk
- pixieapp.com
- pixiecms.co.uk
- pixiesite.co.uk
- mypixie.co.uk
- mypixiesite.co.uk
- mypixiesite.com
External Assets
The sale also includes the following assets:
- Administration of the Google Group with 2500 messages and 350 members. The group is active and supportive.
- Access to our mailing list software and more specifically the Pixie mailing list.
- Administration of the Google Code account.
- The Pixie Twitter account which is fairly new. It automatically updates when a new blog post is made.
What you don't get
Pixie has had many contributions from the community and the website lists a number of themes, modules and blocks that have been supplied by others. These themes, modules and blocks (including those by toggle) must remain with there original copyrights and authors in place. You will not own the copyright or be allowed to use these assets without the permission of the original authors.
Questions
As this is one of my first listings on Flippa I am sure I have probably missed something. If you have any questions please get in touch.

May I know your reserve price?
Sure. I will sent you a message.
same here if possible, thanks
Ill drop you a DM. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Hi everyone. I have checked the Pixie domain (getpixie.co.uk) on http://www.websiteoutlook.com and based on traffic alone the value is around $12,000 - this should give you a better indication of where the reserve roughly sits (bear in mind that you get full rights to the software as well).
Reserve price if possible please. Thanks
Hey, May I have your reserve please. Thank you.
Check your inbox's! :)
We had an excellent testimonial in the forums yesterday: http://groups.google.com/group/pixie-cms/browse_thread/thread/72f91b42e9835256 - this is Pixie's true selling point. Simplicity and easy to understand for people without a technical background.
I would also like to know the reserve please.
Hi All - the reserve will now be met with the next bid! Best of luck with the auction today and I will be around to answer any last minute questions.
I'd like to know your mailing list size and how long you would continue advising the new owner and if/what arrangements can be made for future site development.
Thanks,
646 subscribers in the main database and there are also 370 forum users to be added to that. I will offer as much advise as is required to keep the project moving along (I have lots of notes and ideas to share) but will not provide any website development or CMS development as part of the sale. More development would have to be paid for as a toggle commission.
