What CushyCMS is
CushyCMS is a hosted web content management service that lets web designers give clients editing access to selected parts of an existing website. It works with text, HTML, images, and XML files, and supports custom user roles, multilingual content, and SEO tools. Because it is hosted, no custom installation or server setup is required. Implementation involves adding CSS classes to HTML elements and supplying FTP details. CushyCMS does not provide hosting, domains, or website creation, so the site must already be active and hosted. The Free plan costs nothing, supports up to five sites, and allows unlimited pages and editors. Pro costs $28 a month with unlimited sites, pages, and editors. Pro adds custom branding, repeatable regions, page cloning, editor-specific classes, configurable WYSIWYG controls, RSS change feeds, and direct personal email support. The service is available in 20 languages.

CushyCMS suits web designers who need clients to edit selected content on an already hosted site. It is also relevant to teams wanting multilingual editing and custom roles without installing a CMS server.
