Plone CMS is a free and open source content management system built on top of the Zope application server. Plone can be used for any kind of website, including blogs, Internet sites, web-shops and internal websites. Plone is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL).

Plone supports skins and themes. When working with Plone, templates can be used to customize a website's look. These templates are written with Cascading Style Sheets. In addition, Plone comes with a user management system called Pluggable Authentication Service (PAS).
