Key Features

A CMS that adapts to your needs rather than the other way around

Blackcube solves recurring CMS problems: loading times that increase with site growth, rigid structures that limit evolution, maintenance costs that explode. Each feature brings a concrete and measurable benefit to your project.

The philosophy is simple: give total control to the technical team over rendering, offer autonomy to contributors to create rich content, and guarantee stable performance regardless of site size. Blackcube imposes no constraints on architecture or design, it provides the tools to build exactly what you need.

Total design control

The problem: CMSs can impose constraints on site appearance. Result: either design is limited by technology, or integration cost increases.

The Blackcube solution: 100% control of final rendering. Each page type uses its own display code. Zero technical constraint on creativity. Crucial point: this total control allows guaranteeing RGAA accessibility by mastering every detail of the generated HTML.

  1. Exact respect of mockups without compromise
  2. Unique experiences per site section
  3. Visual identity respected to the letter
  4. Controlled integration budget
  5. RGAA compliance ensured by controlled code
Impact:

Concrete advantage

A landing page with complex animations and custom interactions? Blackcube provides content, the technical team does the rest as they wish. No fight with preconceived templates.

Ultra-fast navigation

The problem: The larger a site grows, the slower navigation can become. Each menu, each breadcrumb can multiply server calls.

The Blackcube solution: Tree technology that retrieves an entire branch in a single operation. Result: instant menus and navigation, even with thousands of pages.

  1. Fluid and instant user experience
  2. No complex optimizations to maintain
  3. Site remains fast regardless of size
  4. Controlled server budget
Impact:

Concrete advantage

A media site with large content catalog and many thematic sections? Navigation remains fluid without oversized servers to pay for.

Evolving content without breaking everything

The problem: Adding a new field may require modifying structure, testing, planning deployment. Risky and expensive.

The Blackcube solution: Adding new fields without touching technical aspects. Old content continues to work, new content uses new fields.

  1. Simplified and accelerated site evolution
  2. Less risk when adding a feature
  3. Teams gain autonomy to adapt content
  4. Savings on technical interventions
Impact:

Concrete example

Launch of company blog. Later, adding author photo to each article. With Blackcube: add field, update new articles. Old ones continue to exist without photo. No complex migration, no heavy technical intervention.

Smart cache that never blocks

The problem: CMSs can cache everything to be fast. Problem: when content changes, either it doesn't update immediately, or all cache empties and site temporarily slows down.

The Blackcube solution: Cache is granular. Modifying an article? Only that article is refreshed. Rest of site continues using cache.

  1. Modifications appear quickly
  2. Site remains fast even when publishing new content
  3. Less frustration for contributors
  4. Optimized infrastructure costs
Impact:

Concrete advantage

An editorial team regularly publishes articles. With classic cache, each publication could slow down the site. With Blackcube, site remains fast for everyone.

Modular page building

Content consists of reusable blocks. Title, text, image, gallery, form: each block has its own structure. Contributors assemble blocks to create their pages.

  1. Contributors create rich pages with more autonomy
  2. Reuse same blocks everywhere to maintain consistency
  3. Add new block types according to needs
  4. Content quality maintained through automatic validation
Impact:

For contributors

Need to create a new page? Assemble available blocks and create structured content. Design remains consistent automatically.

4 ways to organize content

Nodes: For hierarchical site navigation (home, services, about, etc.)

Composites: For free content (news, blog, case studies)

Tags: For cross-categorization (by theme, format, sector)

Categories: For grouping tags by family

Free choice of content organization. No imposed structure. Adapt CMS to business logic, not the other way around.

Modern admin interface

Clear and intuitive interface for contributors. Granular permission system to manage everyone's rights. Extendable to add specific business features.

  1. Contributors gain autonomy over their content
  2. Ability to add business-specific tools
  3. Reduced technical support requests
Impact:

Multilingual your way

Blackcube handles multilingual: each content has a language, each URL is specific to a language. The technical structure is there.

The rest depends on organization: manual translation, external tools, validation process. Blackcube provides multilingual base, organization defines its own processes.

  1. No imposed translation system that might not match processes
  2. Adapt multilingual to business reality
  3. Integrate already-used translation tools
  4. Evolution without technical constraint
Impact:

Flexibility

A site in a few languages with professional translators? A multilingual site with automatic translation? Both approaches work. Blackcube adapts to organization.

Key points to remember

  1. Design freedom: Total respect of visual identity without technical compromise
  2. Guaranteed performance: Fluid navigation regardless of site size
  3. Simple evolution: Add features without risk to existing
  4. Team autonomy: Independent contributors to create and manage content
  5. Controlled costs: Optimized infrastructure and simplified maintenance

Warning

Blackcube imposes nothing: these are usage examples. The technical team remains master of its architecture and implementation choices.
