Getting started with Wheelhouse CMS is easy. Simply sign up for an account, create a new Rails application using your unique license template, start the server and follow the 3-step setup process.

rails new MyApp -m https://www.wheelhousecms.com/template/<LICENSE>

Wheelhouse CMS can also be added to an existing Rails app by editing your Gemfile:

Set Your Templates Free

Rather than limit you to a single content area, Wheelhouse CMS inspects your templates and automatically generates easy-to-use admin forms for content entry.

By combining rich content areas, text fields, images and looped combinations thereof, Wheelhouse gives you the flexibility to create complex, fully content-managed layouts without resorting to awkward workarounds.

With this flexibility it's incredibly easy to create anything from a simple sidebar, to a list of staff members along with their photos and job description, or even a full-on gallery or slideshow complete with rich-formatted captions.

The Power of Rails at Your Fingertips

As your web site grows and you start needing more functionality - a blog here or a form there; Wheelhouse CMS has you covered.

Whether it’s one of the many easy-to-use Wheelhouse plugins or custom functionality just for your site, you’ll always have an option, or many.

Prefer Slim for your templates or Less for stylesheets? Easy! Want to enrich your front-end with Backbone.js? No worries.

In fact it's a core philosophy of Wheelhouse CMS that the full power of Ruby on Rails will always be right there at your fingertips.

Wheelhouse CMS currently provides plugins for the following functionality:

Blogs
Forms
Analytics
Lightboxes
Email collection
Single-page sites

and many more are currently in development.
