There are many powerhouse Content Management Systems out there today but you usually need an in-depth study of them just to get started. Lots of people just give up trying to get a site up and running. That's where Spectra is different. The top priority in the design process was to make this CMS user-friendly. Your entire website can be built and managed from within the dashboards.
