AJAX Search

The built-in search engine utilises AJAX and MySQL's powerful FULLTEXT feature to rapidly return, in real-time, any pages that match your search query.

When you click on a returned result, the visited page will highlight the search terms until one of them is clicked on. Try searching for 'ajax' and clicking on a returned result.

Search results appear here in real-time.
Example Sidebar

Create and integrate sidebars on-the-fly.

You can create and add as many of these sidebars as you want. Sidebar content is generated via the same easy to use WYSIWYG editor as regular pages, allowing you to insert and format text, HTML, forms and images. Each sidebar has the option of a toggle link which expands and collapses the panel. The sidebar's toggle state is recalled upon susbsequent visits to the same page.

You can even create a sidebar that contains raw PHP code - thus providing unlimited extensibility via functions, libraries and includes. Smart.

White Label

Vanilla is an ideal candidate for a white label Content Management System - it's robust, fast, standards-compliant, cross-browser compatible and it's highly flexible in terms of functionality and appearance.

From Wikipedia:

"A white label product or service is a product or service produced by one company (the producer) that other companies (the marketers) rebrand to make it appear as if they made it."

Bare Bones?

We wouldn't strictly call Vanilla a 'bare bones' system as there's quite a bit of flesh and brain there too. It's fully commented throughout in case you or your programmers wish to modify or develop the system to suit your needs.
