Great Collection of Flash Content Management Systems.

That’s why I have decided to create a review of Flash CMS templates solutions presently available on the market, the solutions that will allow you build your new flash website quickly, easily at without additional costs.

Wix Site Builder
If you have ever been looking for a free flash website you might have been on a Wix site and even considered using their builder to create your free flash website. Guys at Wix have a huge number of nicely designed templates and working with the Wix system is a real pleasure. It takes just a few minutes to sign up with them, choose the template and proceed to the editing interface. Editing the template reminds more of a fun game with big iconed tools 🙂 You can change texts and fonts, you can add photos, videos and music and create nice galleries. You can also view your website online on the link like this one http://www.wix.com/adzyasan/anastasia and it’s also for free.
If you want more features than the free version of Wix allows you can sign up for a premium account (starting from $4.95/month) and use your own domain name, remove Wix ads and logo from your website.

The nice feature about Yooba is that they offer simple website visitors stats.
The price of Yooba is somewhat high- €40 per slot a month and you have to build the design on your own. Yooba is not a CMS in the usual understanding however it allows to create animated websites with easy and without flash or any other special knowledge.

Fancy CMS
Fancy CMS is a new promising flash content management system that seems to be still in development. They have triumphantly launched their first template and promise more to come shortly. As a fresh developing product Fancy CMS might also be interesting for flash developers as there’s a beta version of Fancy Flash CMS Core available for free. One oops- the admin area is not available yet so if you decide to download the templates be ready to edit the info directly in the xml files.
Among the interesting features of Fancy Flash CMS are:
- Rich content pages with 2-level menus;
- Flash blog;
- e-commerce shopping cart,
- Option to change the pages design and layout;
- Video, Image & Sound Galleries.
The system is skin based so you can easily change skins to newer design versions. At the moment the system is free.
FlashMoto CMS
Loved by flash developers the FlashMoto CMS has the widest range of functionality possible. There’s an option to edit the core of the system, add new modules and widgets and create separate projects based on the FlashMoto CMS. However when it comes to website management it gets complicated for most of us… since there are too many options available. Certain functionality limitations would guarantee that design look and feel remains stylish and professional but this in not the case when you can play around with almost every element and then can’t set it back to default position. Yet, we have to admit that FlashMoto CMS is a powerful engine, though (and in the consent of our theme today) oriented more on developers than end users. What’s really cool about this CMS is the Multilingual Control Panel supporting 12 languages.
Among the features of the FlashMoto CMS you will find:
- Interface to update general settings like logo, menu, company name etc;
- Ability to add unlimited number of pages in a rich WYSIWYG editing environment;
- Media Library & Preload Item option;
- News module, Video & Image Gallery ;
- Video and MP3 player.
The templates cost around $250 and are all designed in the up-to-date clean style which makes the offer even more attractive.

The list of components include:

Royale CMS
Royale CMS is the strongest competitor to FlashMoto. It is being used by some huge corporate names like Nokia, Reebok, Sony, etc. The main advantage of Royale CMS is that it is ridiculously well structured. It may not allow you to manage your template design, but when it comes to editing content of some custom flash website – Royale CMS is the perfect backend manager. In fact, they do not offer any templates at all. Royale CMS is basically a system to manage your website XML data.
It is a very useful and handy solution.
Royale CMS “Positive” features:
