"Pligg is unique compared to most other content management systems because of it's flexibility. A web designer can do pretty much anything with Pligg because the software was designed to be used in as many ways as possible. Not only can a person with very little knowledge of PHP and MySQL install it, but they can modify and administer it with relatively little difficulty. For those who have a greater understanding of web languages, Pligg can act as the first step in a highly customized personal content management system."

Why Pligg?
In a world with so many Content Management Systems fighting for control it can seem nearly impossible to pick out a perfect CMS to suit your needs. That's why Pligg exists, because we know that no CMS is going to offer a perfect out-of-the-box experience for every user. The net would be a boring place if every site looked and acted the same, so be different! Pligg's dynamic structure allows users to quickly and effortlessly install and customize their sites. Pligg acts as a framework for many sucessful sites who have taken the code offered by Pligg and added their own touch to it. If you're looking to create a unique site quickly and with as little effort as possible, consider using Pligg.
