The CMS We Built Because WordPress Wasn't Enough
mmCMS is McNair Media's own content management system — designed, built, and hosted by us, and powering dozens of live business, church, nonprofit, and e-commerce websites across the country. No plugin roulette, no page-builder bloat, no third-party licenses. Just a fast, secure platform with everything your site needs built in — and one team responsible for all of it.
This Is What You Log Into
Actual mmCMS admin screens — the same system every one of our sites runs on.
The dashboard — your whole site at a glance, with one-click paths to the things you edit most.
The page editor — write and format like a document, drop in images from your library, and preview live.
The media library — every photo in one place, compressed automatically so your site stays fast.
The branding studio — your logo, colors, and identity, changeable site-wide without touching code.
Pages & Content
Edit pages with a friendly visual editor, or assemble them from pre-built sections — heroes, feature grids, staff bios, photo callouts. Many of our sites let you edit content right on the page itself.
Media Library
One place for every photo and file, with automatic image compression so uploads never slow your site down — plus optional AI image generation for when you need artwork on demand.
Blog & News
A clean publishing workflow for posts, announcements, and video — with categories, featured images, and layouts that match your site's design automatically.
Online Store
A full shop with product variants, cart, secure Stripe checkout, and real-time UPS shipping rates — no WooCommerce plugin stack to babysit.
Forms & Inbox
Contact forms with spam filtering and a built-in submissions inbox. Upgrade path to a full sales CRM where website leads become a managed pipeline.
Booking & Events
Event calendars, booking and scheduling for rentals, venues, and classes — with the same simple admin your content uses.
Resources & Members
Downloads, FAQs, resource libraries, and member-only areas with role-based logins — great for churches, associations, and client portals.
Design That's Yours
Every mmCMS site gets a bespoke theme built for your brand — not a template thousands of other sites use. Fonts, colors, and layouts are tailored, then stay easy to update.
Easy Switching
Built-in importers bring your content over from WordPress, Ghost, Squarespace, and more — pages, posts, images, and the redirects that protect your Google rankings.
mmCMS vs. WordPress
We've built and rescued a lot of WordPress sites — we still offer custom WordPress development. This is why we recommend mmCMS to almost every client anyway.
| Feature | Typical WordPress Site | mmCMS |
|---|---|---|
| Security | 20–40 third-party plugins, each a potential vulnerability; you're responsible for updates | One codebase we maintain fleet-wide; security patches roll out to every site at once |
| Speed | Page-builder themes ship megabytes of scripts on every page | Lean, hand-built themes with only the code your site actually uses |
| When something breaks | Theme vendor blames the plugin vendor, who blames the host | One phone call — we built it, we host it, we fix it |
| New features | Hunt for a plugin, pay its license, hope it plays nicely with the rest | We build it into the platform — and it fits your site exactly |
| Hosting & backups | Separate hosting vendor, backups often an afterthought | Managed hosting, SSL, and daily backups included |
| Ownership | Yours in theory — but tangled in licenses and vendor lock-in | Your content and data, exportable any time, hosted by a team you know |
A Website That Becomes a Platform
Because mmCMS is our own platform, your website can grow into things a template never could: a built-in sales CRM, customer portals, quoting systems, booking engines — even full custom applications that run your back office. Start with a beautiful site; add capability when the business calls for it.
Every mmCMS Site Includes
- Bespoke design — no shared templates
- Managed hosting, SSL, and daily backups
- Contact forms with a built-in inbox
- Accessibility widget for every visitor
