Engine CMS

At Melon Design & Marketing, we've spent years developing websites that not only look exceptional but perform flawlessly. Along the way, we discovered that most off-the-shelf content management systems are either too complicated, too bloated, or too restrictive. That's why we built Engine — our own streamlined, high-performance CMS designed to put you in control of your website without the usual headaches. Engine is fast, intuitive, secure, and made to keep your ongoing costs low.

Engine CMS — Powering Websites That Perform

Engine combines the freedom to manage your own content with the confidence of a secure, professional platform. It’s the perfect choice for businesses that want a website they can control, trust, and grow with — without hidden costs or unnecessary complexity. Engine was created with real users in mind — not developers. Its clean, intuitive interface makes updating your website a breeze. You can easily:

• Edit text and images
• Add new pages or sections with just a few clicks
• Manage Search Engine Optimisation and meta information
• Manage navigation, downloads, news, and galleries without needing any technical knowledge
• No complicated dashboards. No confusing plug-ins. Just straightforward tools that let you keep your website up to date — quickly and confidently.

Secure by Design

Your website’s security is our priority. Engine is built from the ground up with safety in mind:

• Regularly updated and monitored by Melon’s development team
• Protected against common online threats
• No reliance on third-party plug-ins that can introduce vulnerabilities
• Because Engine is custom-built and maintained in-house, you’re not exposed to the same risks that often come with open-source platforms. That means fewer worries, less maintenance, and peace of mind knowing your data — and your customers’ data — are safe.

Minimal Ongoing Costs

We know that managing a website shouldn’t become an expensive, ongoing burden. With Engine, you’ll benefit from:

• No licence fees or unnecessary subscriptions
• No dependency on external plug-in updates or renewals
• Reduced maintenance time thanks to Melon’s hands-on support and streamlined design
• Once your website is live, it simply works — saving you time, effort, and money in the long run.

Optimised for Performance

Engine isn’t just easy to use — it’s engineered for results. Every site built on Engine is:

• Fast-loading, giving users a smooth browsing experience
• Fully responsive, adapting perfectly across mobiles, tablets, and desktops
• Search engine friendly, with clean code and integrated SEO tools to help your business get found online
• Engine keeps your website performing at its best — from launch day and beyond.

Tailored and Supported by Experts

Unlike generic CMS platforms, every Engine website is bespoke. The system is tailored to your business needs, branding, and goals, ensuring a perfect fit. And if you ever need a hand, Melon’s support team is just a call or email away — ready to help, without the long waits or impersonal ticket systems you find elsewhere.
