An open-source web application, launched in May 2008, facilitates rapid website creation and has garnered a dedicated following in the open-source community. Often referred to as a content management system (CMS), this software is better described as a small, simple website maker. With over 27,000 downloads and translations in 17 languages, it received acclaim by securing a runner-up position in a prominent open-source CMS competition in 2009. The sale of this brand includes domain names, intellectual property, and associated assets, although community-contributed themes, modules, and blocks retain their original copyrights. The current owner seeks to sell due to a need to focus on another business and intends to stay involved in a limited capacity, including support forums and potential bug fixes.
The sale package comprises domain names, administration of active community forums, mailing list access, and a Twitter account tied to the brand. Not included are third-party contributions. The application, though generating minimal income from referrals, ads, and donations, holds potential for increased revenue through various means like offering hosting services, premium content, and corporate sponsorships. The site attracts significant traffic, boasting over 40,000 visits from a notable web aggregator and about 8,200 monthly visits not counting demo site traffic. The application performs well in search engine optimization for several key searches related to open-source website creation. The opportunity offers promising growth avenues for those interested in acquiring an established, community-backed web application platform.
