Framework

The content management features of Cofoundry are built on a base framework of tools that you can use to rapidly build out your application using a structured and modular methodology.

This includes documentation features such as mail, roles & permissions and background tasks as well as lower level elements such as our CQS implementation, data access APIs and auto-update framework.

User Areas

The Cofoundry User Area feature can be used to build a member-only area of your site or to deliver enhanced experiences for your signed-up users. User areas are built on the same underlying framework that powers the admin panel, so you can benefit from the same set of features as well as a pre-built section of the admin panel to manager your users.
