D-LIS Light is a light content management system. Pages, blog, forms, newsletter, media, SEO, translations and backups all live in one panel — from the first start, with nothing to install on top.
Two D-LIS systems
D-LIS comes as two systems on one foundation: D-LIS Light for managing your site’s content and D-LIS Shop for running an online shop.
Content management
A system for building and running websites. You manage the content, look, messages and security of the whole site from one panel in your browser.
Online shop
An online shop built on D-LIS: products, basket and orders, with a blog and newsletter alongside. The example shop is live – you can browse it just like a customer.
General information
A Polish system for building and running websites. You install it on your own server, and you manage the whole site – its text, its look, its messages and its security – from a single panel in the browser.
A company website should not need a dozen plugins from different authors to have a form, a newsletter, backups and decent SEO. Instead of an empty core and a catalogue of add-ons you get the full set: every module has its place in the panel, and they all use the same settings, the same look and the same permissions – which is why nothing falls out with anything else after an update.
„Light” is a promise of lightness – the site loads only what it needs, the panel does not bury you in options, and every setting has one place that is easy to find.

How it works
You do not have to know Python or Django. A wizard runs the installation, and everything that happens afterwards you do in the panel.
Step 1
You upload the files and open the site address. The wizard checks the server, sets up the database — SQLite, MySQL or PostgreSQL — and the owner account. On Linux and FreeBSD a single command does the same: install.sh.
In the browser or from the console
Step 2
The name, logo, colours, typefaces, company details, mail, SEO. Everything is saved in the database and set from the panel — with no digging through files on the server.
In the panel: System › Configuration
Step 3
Pages, posts, home page sections, forms and questions. Every save leaves a version behind, and publication can be scheduled and the draft previewed before visitors see it.
In the panel: Content
Step 4
Backups, the event log, file checking and news about new versions. The dashboard says outright what needs doing — and where.

Features
Every one of these things is part of the system, not an add-on by another author. It has one place in the panel menu and is updated along with the rest.
Pages with subpages wired into the menu, a blog with categories, authors and comments, and a home page assembled from sections whose order you set. You schedule publication “from — to”, and every change stays in the history and can be restored.
You upload a photo once, and the system scales it down, strips the EXIF data and prepares WebP and AVIF versions for every screen width. SVG files are sanitised on upload.
Titles and descriptions for every page, a sitemap, robots.txt, structured data, redirects and a list of 404 addresses. Plus an llms.txt file that tells AI models what your site is about.
A form builder with no programming, a message inbox you answer from straight in the panel, contact topics and a newsletter with confirmed sign-ups and sending to the whole list.
Pages, posts, the menu and the footer in several languages, each under its own address prefix. While translating you see the original text beside yours, and search engines get hreflang tags.
Two-factor sign-in, roles with permissions, sign-in attempt limits, spam traps and security headers. Templates for a privacy policy and terms, plus a consent banner with a record.
You make an archive with the database and the files in one click and restore it the same way. The log records sign-ins, errors and changes, file checking catches swapped files, and the panel checks for a new version by itself.
Colours and typefaces set separately for the light and the dark version, a menu with a highlighted button in the header and templates uploaded as a ZIP package. Plus your own CSS, notices for visitors with an end date and a site search.
And five more areas that are rarely talked about, yet a company site does not work without them: content blocks and questions, mail with message templates, company details and the footer, analytics with consents, and the panel itself — the dashboard, the settings search and the lists.

No system is good for everything. Here is when D-LIS Light works best, and when you are better off choosing something else.
The verdict in one sentence
If your site is above all about content — it is worth it. If it is meant to sell through a basket — choose a shop built on D-LIS.
D-LIS Shop · online shop
D-LIS Light is for sites where the content is what counts. When you need a basket, products and orders, there is D-LIS Shop – an online shop built on D-LIS. The example shop is live – you can browse it just like a customer.
Example shops: shop.dlis-shop.pl and shop2.dlis-shop.pl
