About Lotus CMS
Lotus CMS is a content management system built using PHP as a programming language, created by a company called Vipana LLC.

The latest version released and available for download on Github is 3.0.5 and was last updated on January 28, 2016. The goal of Lotus CMS was to allow content to be published as widgets on google, yahoo, apple and vista, while at the same time allowing publishers to push content to consumers desktops and mobile phones. One of the key features of Lotus CMS was the ability to customize content using drag and drop functionality.
