Not a demo — this is the platform we run every day. Luminal Open CMS has been run on 30+ production sites, from a single page to networks publishing daily.

  • Independent film & culture publications — daily articles, podcast feeds, structured archives
  • Regional tourism & lifestyle networks — several sister sites from one codebase
  • Musician and artist platforms — profiles, shows, bookings, merch
  • Local hospitality & venue sites — events, menus, ticketing links
  • Niche retail storefronts — product catalogues without a plugin stack
  • Broadcast & radio-style stations — episode libraries and always-on players

Running it in production and want it handled? Paid support is available — managed hosting, deployment and updates for the same platform, by the people who built it. See support plans

Luminal-CMS is the AI-Native Platform for content management replacing legacy Wordpress with an AI Native operating system for the web.

Your Websites. On Autopilot.

Luminal is the content management and infrastructure platform that runs your entire web presence autonomously. AI agents that actually do the work — not just suggest it.
Platform Capabilities

Everything Built In. Nothing Bolted On.

Every capability ships with the platform. No plugins to find, vet, install, update, or pray don't break each other.

  • Autonomous AI AgentsA digital crew that works while you sleep — content, performance analysis, support triage and social publishing, on your schedule.
  • Content CreationWrite with AI at your side. Reusable blocks, flexible templates, custom styling per page. No themes to fight.
  • Media & GalleriesImages, video and PDFs — drag, drop, done. Automatic thumbnails, responsive display, lightboxes.
  • EcommerceSell with every major payment processor. Print-on-demand and affiliate integration built in.
  • PodcastingHost episodes, generate RSS automatically, publish transcripts, and distribute everywhere.
  • EventsCreate, promote and manage events from one place, with social publishing firing automatically.
  • SecurityNo database and no plugin layer, so whole categories of attack simply do not apply. Advanced hardening available with Server Sentinel.
  • Analytics & MonitoringReal-time visibility across your whole presence — traffic, threats and performance in one view.
  • Fleet DeploymentOne site or a hundred. Deploy to the entire fleet at once, every site keeping its own content.
  • Infrastructure ManagementDomains, SSL, backups and monitoring run themselves so you can stay on the business.
  • CommunicationEmail, forms, lead capture and support tickets built in, with AI triage routing what matters.
  • PerformanceNo database, no query overhead. Pages load in milliseconds — nothing slow left to cache.

See for yourself

Every capability listed above ships on day one. No upsells, no plugin marketplace, no surprises — and you don’t have to take our word for it. The platform running this page is public: clone it, read it, host it.

Need something the base platform was never meant to cover — a trading floor, a card marketplace, a booking desk? Those live in Platform Extensions, and the full reference is in the documentation.

Podcast Suite

Production, publishing and distribution for shows that are built to be found — not just heard.

  • Scripted multi-voice episodes, generated and mastered on a schedule
  • Standards-clean RSS that Apple, Spotify and YouTube ingest without argument
  • Full transcripts published alongside every episode
  • Episode artwork, chapters and show pages generated with the feed

Why it moves traffic: every episode ships a transcript and a permanent page. Across our own network, sites carrying a podcast consistently out-perform the ones that don't — the audience that finds you is increasingly an answer engine reading your words, not a listener pressing play.
