pMachine web site

With over 50 new features and enhancements, pMachine just got a whole lot better!


The "p" stands for publishing.
What do you want to communicate? How do you want to present it? What level of interactivity do you require? pMachine adapts to your creative vision without imposing it's way of doing things. You decide how you want your site to look, behave and interact; pMachine makes your vision a reality.



Did someone say features?
Version 2.2 has over 50 new features and enhancements. So many, in fact, we probably should have called it version 3.0. The enhancements range from subtle interface refinements and usability improvements, to full-on new features, templates and tags. In addition, the code base has been significantly improved across the board.

Click here for a list of changes in 2.2, or take a look at the full feature list.



Two flavors to choose from.
pMachine Free and pMachine Pro. You can tap the power of pMachine for absolutely nothing. Free! Other than a few restrictions - no multiple weblogs, no event calendar, no XML Parser - pMachine Free has all of the strengths of pMachine with none of the cost. And when you need more power, pMachine Pro delivers unrestricted features coupled with high-priority technical support at a very affordable price.



Rapid-fire development.
No other publishing tool has undergone faster development and added more features in a short period of time as pMachine. Version 1.0 was released in January 2002. Since then, there have been 11 releases. We listen closely to our users in our effort to make pMachine as compelling a product as possible.



10 Minute Installation
No other publishing tool is as easy to install. Here's how it's done: Answer four questions in a configuration file. Upload pMachine to your site. Run the installation script. You’re up-and-running in 10 minutes flat.


Requirements.
pMachine was written in PHP and runs on any server that has PHP 4 and MySQL installed. If you don't know anything about PHP or MySQL, don't worry... you don't need to! pMachine lets you build feature-rich, dynamic web sites with all the power and speed of PHP/MySQL without the steep learning curve. Note: pMachine 2.2 now has an abstracted database layer which will allow us to add support for other databases in the future.
