2PIX and classic CMS
Category · comparison based on official materials
A classic CMS starts with a server, a theme, and a control panel. 2PIX starts with a portable project, managed components, and safe changes suggested by AI agents.
Criterionclassic CMS2PIX
Project basis
Server CMS, theme, extensions and database.
Sources, content schema, components and build rules in a portable package.
Working with content
Mature control panel, publishing, drafts, roles and revisions.
A separate content editor assembled from the project outline and role restrictions.
Working with AI
Usually through separate extensions or external means.
External agents receive project information and propose verifiable change packages.
Local work
Possible, but requires a CMS environment, a database and a set of extensions.
Main mode: Project, content, files and build can remain on the team's machine.
Transfer
The code, database, files and description of the environment are transferred.
A website package with a source capsule is transferred; the project can be reopened from the code repository or hosting.
Dependency on 2PIX
The site depends on the chosen CMS environment.
The published site does not require the 2PIX runtime.
When to choose 2PIX
Use cases for 2PIX
- Agents should work according to the rules of the project, and not on top of random files.
- The client needs a secure editor without access to the entire system.
- The site must be transferred and continue to be edited after the transfer.
Main difference
Concise conclusion without a promotional scorecard
This is not a “new versus old” debate. Classic CMSs are strong in maturity and ready-made extensions; 2PIX was created for teams that value agents, full source code, and continuation of work after site transfer.
