Modern Interface Redesign

Built on our robust Jacket framework, the new interface brings contemporary UI patterns and improved workflows while maintaining the power and flexibility that Rapid CMS is known for.

The new design eliminates clutter and focuses on content, with clear visual hierarchy, improved typography, and intuitive navigation that helps content editors find what they need quickly.

Behind the Scenes

While the interface redesign is the most visible change, we've also made significant improvements to security, authentication, and form handling that work behind the scenes to keep your site safe and your inbox clean.

Safer, More Secure Authentication

Enhanced authentication system with better password security, improved session management, and additional protection against brute force attacks — keeping your CMS secure without adding complexity.

Improved Form Submission

AI-powered spam filtering for contact forms and user submissions — a massive improvement that blocks spam, bots, and low-quality submissions without CAPTCHAs or frustrating real users.

WebP Image Conversion

Upload images and they're automatically converted to WebP format for faster loading times and better performance. Reduce file sizes by up to 80% without noticeable quality loss.

Next Steps: AI Features for CMS

The interface redesign and behind-the-scenes improvements are just the beginning. We're actively developing AI-powered content features that will be integrated directly into Rapid CMS:

AI Content Generation

Generate content from prompts — product descriptions, blog posts, service pages. Let AI create first drafts that you refine to match your voice and style.

Content Improvement Tools

Select text and ask AI to improve it — make it more concise, expand on ideas, adjust tone, or simplify complex language with instant suggestions.

Automated Translation

For multilingual sites, AI will provide instant translations that you can refine — dramatically faster than translating from scratch while maintaining quality.

SEO Optimization

AI will analyze your content and suggest improvements for search engines — better titles, meta descriptions, keyword usage, and content structure.

Image Description Generation

Upload images and AI will automatically generate descriptive alt text for accessibility and SEO — ensuring every image is properly described.

These AI content features are currently in development and will be released as they're ready. The foundation is in place with today's redesign — watch this space for announcements as new AI capabilities go live.
