## What it is
FUEL CMS is an open-source content management system built on the CodeIgniter PHP framework, aimed at developers building customizable client websites. It offers page/block management, layout fields, multi-language content, asset management, and user permissions.

## Use cases

- build client sites on codeigniter with editable pages
- create multi-language seo-friendly page content
