Content management systems (CMS) power sites of all types. The Adult Site Broker website is built on the popular open-source content management system WordPress. Adult Site Broker recently wrote a blog post about the best blogging platforms for creating your adult content-oriented website.
In this blog post, we discuss our findings on the best content management systems for adult websites. We feature hosted builds on open-source CMS systems and a lineup of providers who specialize in adult content of all types, including adult e-commerce and nude art photography.
ElevatedX
Found at ElevatedX.com, this provider of proprietary content management system solutions is a powerhouse in the adult entertainment space. Premium adult film studios and the pay sites for several imprints use the ElevatedX CMS to host and distribute their content online.
Studios like Grooby, Penthouse, and CockyBoys.com are just a few of the over 2,000 adult sites that use ElevatedX and its offerings for producers and content creators.
The offering created specifically for content creators is called ELX Complete and features an 80/20 revenue split for creators looking to build their own content membership sites.
StagCMS
StagCMS.com is another provider of proprietary content management system solutions. Stag’s focus appears to be a turnkey CMS solution for content creators and independent studios.
Like the more popular ElevatedX, StagCMS offers a variety of tools to help webmasters monetize and distribute content to their fans and drive site traffic in the simplest, most effective way possible.
Pricing for the StagCMS platform starts at $199 per month and ranges to custom pricing for unlimited site builds and high-volume traffic. Compared with an independent small-time creator, ELX Complete or ModelCentro is more expensive, but StagCMS licenses include all tools and assets, including protocols for clip stores and payments.
AdultMemberSites
AdultMemberSites.com is an all-in-one hosted content management system similar to ModelCentro. Adult content creators can build their own membership sites using a variety of engagement and monetization tools to maximize payouts from users and fans.
AdultMemberSites provides a proprietary messaging platform to monetize premium sexting and content sharing between creators and their fans, while also enabling site-unique live streaming and branding options.
Selling itself as the platform that enables creators to “own your own brand,” AdultMemberSites is a very well-built platform for those with absolutely no web or technical expertise and are simply looking for a home for all of their content and fan interactions without having to rely on the premium social networks like OnlyFans, LoyalFans, or ExclusivLife.
Adult SiteRunner
AdultSiteRunner.com is a provider of content management systems that cater heavily to the gay vertical of porn. Most of the websites the company showcases as evidence of the tech and design prowess of its platform are gay studio and imprint pay sites like PlayDaddy.com and NaturalBornBreeders.com.
Straight and other niche porn can be found on websites that are powered by Adult SiteRunner, also. The platform is an all-in-one cloud solution that offers marketing, design, and monetization options.
In addition, the CMS offers a one-click downloading protocol for membership sites that offer scenes for download. Adult SiteRunner is also fully integrated with the high-risk payment processor CCBill.com and has three XBIZ Awards.
PornX WordPress Theme by ViceTemple
We’ve written about ViceTemple before. As a reminder, ViceTemple is a very popular adult web hosting provider offering cloud and bare-metal servers. In addition to their hosted options, they offer prebuilt WordPress themes. The PornX WordPress theme is definitely our favorite because the web build is designed to emulate an adult tube site.
Running content management plugins unique to ViceTemple, the PornX theme allows quick launch and easy management of a tube site concept you may have, making it fully integrated and functional. The theme is also available via a cost-effective lifetime license of $99. Compared to other adult industry WordPress build providers, this is a steal. ViceTemple is also a highly trusted tech company.
Porn CMS
PornCMS.com is another all-in-one content management system provider that caters to the needs of producers and independent content creators. The websites are fully integrated with the cloud hosting Porn CMS provides, and are fleshed out with its features that enable monetization.
A pornstar or a model just getting started can simply “plug and play” with Porn CMS and develop a site that is unique to their brand and hosts their content as if it were a major adult paysite or site for a studio.
Pricing is quite affordable, with plans starting at $49 per month and options for site managers ranging up to about $695 per month. There is also an option to add a site for a fee of $99 per site that is added to the plan in place with Porn CMS. It is just another cost-effective option that prioritizes ease of use over complex web development.
ClickCastX
ClickCastX.com is another content management system provider. Nominated for a variety of XBIZ Awards, this content management option is among the largest in the adult industry.
The ClickCastX.com platform is in its fifth software iteration and recently developed and released an offering for content creators. Users of this CMS ecosystem can manage and monetize photos and recorded videos, including live streaming, for models who wish to create their own community free from live cam sites like Chaturbate or premium social networks like OnlyFans.
The plans for ClickCastX start at $149 per month with an option to purchase a lifetime license for nearly $9,000. ClickCastX Fans version, built for models looking to create a paysite, is $299 per month, as is the professional version of the software. Features are dependent on the plan.
The owner of ClickCastX, Claude, has been a guest on Adult Site Broker’s podcast, Adult Site Broker Talk.
ModelCentro
Our last entry for this post is ModelCentro.com. ModelCentro is a content management system that we’ve written about several times before, and there is a reason.
ModelCentro is one of the best all-in-one content management systems for independent adult content creators looking to build fan sites and pay sites based on their own fan bases and web traffic.
It is a great alternative for creators who rely on premium platforms like OnlyFans, giving adult creators the freedom to build their own digital presence, use their own domain name, and keep a solid share of the revenue from their sites. ModelCentro sites are free to launch, with the company earning only from processing fees and a 75/25 revenue split. ModelCentro gets 25%.
