SilverStripe
SilverStripe is an open source CMS for creating and maintaining website which is engineered by a New Zealand company, SilverStripe Limited. The cms enables its users to maintain content via a WYSIWYG editor. The CMS is written in PHP, and initially it was working with MySQL, and it has evolved to work with database systems like Postgres, SQLLite, Microsoft SQL Server.The CMS take advantages of the object oriented design capabilities of PHP. It is built using MVC patterns, and make use of an object-relational mapper.

An online demonstration of the CMS is made available, and a screen cast.
SilverStripe is extensible using modules, themes, widgets, customizations, and the model admin. This is what we mainly do when it comes to work on your websites.
A bit of history
SilverStripe Limited is founded in 2000. Initially the SilverStripe CMS was a commercial software available under a proprietary license. Development of SilverStripe 2.X started in late 2005, as a complete overhaul to take advantage of object orientation and new features in PHP5.
On 3 February 2007, SilverStripe 2.0.0 was released publicly as free and open source software. The project was selected by Google to participate in the Summer of code competition on 2007, and GHOP, which helped the project to have a lot of themes, modules, and widgets built.
