=================

[](#big-cms-for-yii-2)

[![Yii2](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/d6b0929173e28cc627430d2519ca1853466a70f37395877eaf4820cb3e1e1909/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f62616467652f506f77657265645f62792d5969695f4672616d65776f726b2d677265656e2e7376673f7374796c653d666c6174)](http://www.yiiframework.com/)

Big Cms is a ready to use Yii 2 web application with frontend and backend. It provides a solid foundation for building complex Yii2 sites because it's easy to extend and doesn't impose any rules. Big Cms is as much a toolset as a Cms and it's created to make better products faster.

Big Cms is based on Yii 2 modules and a concept of `Blocks`. It's easy to create your own blocks and integrate them with Big Cms. Big Cms is designed to compatible with any Yii2 module/extension mainly because no specific classes needs to be extended.

Big Cms is built with a flexibility that makes it suitable as a starting-kit but also prepared for shared hosts.

Dynamic themes
---------------

[](#dynamic-themes-)

Yii2 themes are used to style pages individually by assigning blocks to positions. This is done by adding `include statement`s to layout files. An `include statement` specifies a position in a theme where one or more blocks will be inserted by Big Cms. In the backend of Big Cms blocks are added to position by drag 'n drop.

Read the [guide on dynamic themes](http://www.bigbrush-agency.com/guide/guide-themes.html) for more information.

Pages module
-------------

[](#pages-module-)

The `Pages` module provides SEO optimized content which is fully integrated with Big Cms. Links and media can be inserted into a page and up to 6 images can be selected and displayed as a gallery.

It provides the following features:

- SEO optimized pages
- Edit pages with a WYSIWYG (TinyMCE 4) editor
