# Welcome to ZauberCMS

Thanks for checking out **ZauberCMS** - the latest .NET-based CMS, built by .NET developers, for .NET developers.

ZauberCMS was created out of frustration with the direction of modern Umbraco. Instead of being forced to go along with those changes, I built a CMS that was easy to extend and how I wished Umbraco had become.

## Screenshots

Screenshots below shows the Blazor CMS, where you manage your content and media

### Admin

Once you have the site running, if you go to **`/admin`** and create an account, the first user added to the site is set as an 'admin' and you will be redirected to the admin so you can update and edit content. 

### Content

The content section is where you edit the site content and create pages that make up your site. You need to create content types (Which are like the blueprint for your content) and then the content you create is based off those.

### Media

Pretty self explanatory, this section is where you store the media that is used within your website. From images to documents, you can create folder structures and upload media into the folders. The media can then be picked via the media picker content property and you can then display the picked media in the front end of your website.

### Users

Users section is where you manage the users of the site, and the associated roles. This is where you can add content types to roles, and in turn the properties are added to the users within that role. You can make users admins in section so they can access and edit content too.

### Settings

Settings section has a few main components. This is where you can create and edit and update content types (and element types). Element types are just content types that can be used in the [Block List Editor](broken://pages/p59JGkBArBvWkCb1zZkz)
