In 2007, we were developing an in-house Ruby on Rails CMS, first named Data Carton. Casein was the codename we used for the framework built with it and since then we’ve been using this for building CMS solutions for many of our clients. It has been re-designed, reworked and undergone many iterations, but we’re now [...]
We host a lot of websites for our clients in various data centres around the world. These of course have state-of-the-art backup systems in place ensuring vital information can be restored in the case of earthquake, fire, civilian uprising or (behold) an act of God.

We’d like to introduce our latest software project in development – Data Carton. Data Carton is a lightweight, self-hosting CMS system aimed at freelancers and small studios who don’t want to worry about databases or server scripting too much.
