Mojomotor, “The Publishing Engine that Does Less”!

Yes, found it earlier, looks very promising 😊

I’ve got the perfect tagline:

MojoMotor

The Little Engine That Could »

I cant help thinking of Squarespace that I’ve heard a lot of advertisement for in various podcasts lately. are Mojomotor and Squarespace eqvivalent competitors or do they solve different tasks?

Brilliant! I love it 😊

David, I’ve never used Squarespace, but in glancing at it, the first thing comes to mind is that it’s a hosted solution.

MojoMotor isn’t.

I’m looking forward to this being released! I have a few clients who have small sites they want to edit themselves, and this would be perfect, but EE is overkill.

I’m seeing this as a clever, if not smart-alecky (that’s a major compliment) riposte to Wordpress. I don’t mean competitor to Wordpress; that type of discussion would just be a distraction.

(Anyway, WP 3.0 is not really a blogging product anymore, let alone a simple one. Nor is it a CMS, but that’s another story. In fact, I predict that something like Mojomotor will be forked/created by the WP community for its own users over the coming year.)

Granted, Mojomotor is not free, but it’s inexpensive. Corporations won’t think twice, while small biz or non-profits cautious about purchasing Big Brother EE2 can fool with Mojomotor first and productively while the case is made for upsizing when needed. In a way, it’s a bit like a reimagined EE Core for the EE2 platform (not talking features, since EE Core ‘was’ EE, but conceptually).

Providing the brand differentiation between Motomotor and EE doesn’t become confusingly blurred as they meet ‘in the middle’, this sounds like a nicely framed little product to pitch to existing as well as prospective EE shops. For the first time, one can imagine saying credibly that EE/Mojomotor covers in tandem the space between simple blogging and full-blown CMS.

I’m not sure WP is the competition here. Personally (!) I see it in the league of small CMSs like Perch & Co. You can’t blog with MojoMotor, but it’s not been built for that. If you do need categories, members, comments, whatnot, there’s always EE. MM just fills the void for smaller, semi-static sites: Design once, change only occasionally.

@Ingmar - thanks for the correction to my empty pontificating 😉. I assumed blogging would be one of the supported features, but having run over and checked out the Perch online-demo, well .... I will quiet myself until it is all explained in due time. Serves me right for missing EECI.

You can always go watch the video over at mojomotor.com in the meantime 😊

And DA has a few things to say in the CI forum, too.

What did we learn about releasing videos first…from…ummm…‘some othEEr product that can’. JK put down the Ignited torches.

Very very nice, there is a need for this entry product for sure!
Keep us posted.

Mojo is very real and will be released shortly.

😊
Can’t wait for a test drive, thanks D.A.!

Also very keen on this and like that it is easy to import/upgrade to EE at a later time.
