Spectra is a new Content Management System (CMS) that is a work in progress. It is not a fork but a brand new platform that you can use to create a very customizable blog or any other style website. It is fully HTML5, PHP7.4, and CSS3 compliant with W3C worldwide standards and is also UTF8 (8-bit Unicode Transformation Format) compliant.
Its main purpose will be to allow you to build a website from scratch and add the content you think fits your overall purpose. Spectra is highly configurable and will come packaged with the following:
- Change the overall look and feel of the site in the Spectra dashboard's powerful theme editor/builder.

- Populate the menu automatically or create links as you need them using the menu builder.
- Choose the site's overall width.

- Create new pages on-the-fly as needed.
