A Dashboard You'll Actually Want to Work In
AliothPress is a plugin-free CMS that brings everything together in one panel: content, pages, media, forms, newsletters, AI tools, SEO, themes, menus, favicon, settings — everything you need to run your site, without a single plugin.
The sidebar just makes sense: content, tools, appearance, system. Every section is one click away — always visible. Open the dashboard and you get a clean overview right away: posts, pages, subscribers, media files, and forms.
The admin interface runs in 31 languages. Each user picks their own in their profile — and everything switches: menus, notifications, hints, and system messages.
Same goes for dark and light mode. Each user sets their preference in their profile, just like their language. No global override — every team member works in their own setup.
A lot happens automatically while you work. Change a URL — the redirect is already in place. Publish a page — the sitemap updates. Upload an image — it's compressed, converted to WebP and AVIF, and ready for every screen size. Delete a page, image, or form — all references are cleaned up across your content. The system takes care of the technical side so you can focus on the content.
The AI assistant activates with your API key. It can write content, translate, fill in SEO meta tags, create pages in the Page Builder, and assemble forms. You can always review and edit before anything goes live.
Three roles, three levels of access: editors handle content and media, admins run the full system except critical settings, owners have complete control. Every change is logged for audit. Backup and restore — one click, right from the admin panel.
Themes
15 built-in themes to choose from.
| AliothPress Features | Plugin-free. Everything out of the box. |
|---|---|
| Supported languages | Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese. |
| SEO Automation | You focus on content — the system handles the technical SEO. Every page automatically gets its meta tags, canonical, hreflang, Open Graph, and Twitter Cards. The XML sitemap and robots.txt stay up to date with every publish. |
| Broken link protection | When a URL changes, a 301 redirect is created automatically — and redirect chains are flattened so nothing loops. When you delete a page, image, file, or form, every reference to it across your content is cleaned up on its own. |
| AEO Automation | Built to get your content cited by AI. Schema.org @graph connects your site's entities — organization, authors, articles — and verifies them through Wikipedia and Wikidata. FAQ content generates FAQPage schema automatically. Speakable markup makes key sections available to voice assistants. And /llms.txt gives AI systems a structured summary of your entire site — generated and updated on its own. |
| AI Assistant | Works with Anthropic Claude, DeepSeek, and Google Gemini via API. Content generation, translation, SEO metadata, page layouts in the Page Builder, form assembly. All content is stored as JSON for precise AI output. |
| Page Builder | Drag-and-drop editor with 21 block types: heading, text, image, button, divider, spacer, columns, section, video, gallery, video gallery, audio, slideshow, logo ticker, quote, table, accordion, tabs, HTML, code, form. The canvas picks up colors from the active theme and works in both dark and light mode. |
| Multilingual | Translation groups link content, forms, and newsletters across languages with a single click. Menus automatically serve the right language version to each visitor. Hreflang tags are generated behind the scenes — search engines see every version of your site. |
| Image Optimization | Every upload is automatically compressed and converted to WebP and AVIF. Responsive variants are generated for srcset (400w, 800w, 1200w, 1920w), plus dedicated crops for Open Graph and Twitter Cards (1200×630). Dominant color is extracted for smooth loading placeholders. EXIF data is stripped, SVGs are sanitized. |
| Favicon Generator | Upload one image and get everything you need: favicon.ico (16/32/48), PNGs for browsers and Android (96, 192, 512), Apple Touch icon for iOS (180×180), vector SVG, and a site.webmanifest for PWA — all generated right from the admin panel. |
| File Manager | Separate from the media library — designed for documents and downloads. Supports PDF, DOC, XLS, ZIP, TXT, CSV up to 50 MB. Each file gets a clean download URL, title, and description. |
| Form Builder | 13 field types: text, email, phone, number, textarea, dropdown, radio buttons, checkboxes, date, URL, star rating, consent/GDPR, hidden. Start from a ready-made template or build from scratch. Double opt-in, honeypot spam protection, CSV export. Forms are fully multilingual through translation groups. |
| Newsletter | Visual campaign editor with audience filtering by language and source form. CSV import for external lists, test send before broadcast, tamper-proof unsubscribe links, delivery only to verified subscribers. Multilingual campaigns through translation groups. |
| Email (SMTP) | Configure SMTP directly in the admin panel: host, port, credentials, encryption. Send a test email to verify everything works before going live. |
| SSL Certificate | Free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, activated in one click from settings. Renews automatically. |
| Analytics | Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, or your own tracking code — add it in settings, it's included on your site automatically. |
| User Management | Three roles with different access levels. Editors work with content and media. Admins manage the full system, including users — except they can't modify the owner. New team members join via email invitation. |
| Menus | Drag-and-drop builder for header and footer. Supports parent and child items with custom labels. Fully multilingual — menus display in the language the visitor is browsing in. |
| Themes | 15 designer themes to choose from — one click in the admin panel and the look of your site changes. Every theme supports dark and light mode. The admin sets the default — dark, light, or matching the visitor's system. Visitors can always switch on the site. |
| Footer | Copyright, license info, social links — Facebook, X, LinkedIn, GitHub, YouTube, Instagram. The footer menu is managed from the admin panel. Privacy Policy, Legal Notice, and Accessibility are already in place after installation. |
| Security | CSRF protection, rate limiting, brute-force defense. Passwords and API keys are stored encrypted. HTML and SVG files are sanitized on upload. Every action is tracked in the audit log. |
| Performance & Caching | Smart HTTP caching out of the box — fast page loads, CDN-ready, and visitors always see the latest version after updates. |
| Privacy & GDPR | Nothing on your site talks to Google, Vimeo, or any other outside service until a visitor chooses to. Fonts, editor, icons — all served from your own domain. YouTube and Vimeo videos show a preview image first, and only load the player when someone clicks play. No cookie banner needed in the default setup. |
| Accessibility | Top Google PageSpeed accessibility score. Motion and color-scheme preferences are respected. Arabic and Hebrew content is laid out right-to-left. |
| Installation | 5 minutes, no terminal. Paste a cloud-init script when creating your server, open the setup wizard in the browser — done. Step-by-step guide with screenshots — Installation Guide. |
