One core.Every website.Every AI.
Editing that moves faster. AI that works alongside. Assistants that take over entire topics. And people who decide.
Do you really know
what's running on your website?
Forty extensions from thirty vendors, each on its own update cycle, and nobody guarantees they work together. A plugin graveyard where every update is a gamble. After three years a CMS like that is no longer a system, it's a pile of parts. sp8 is built the other way round.
One product, one version
Your website runs on a versioned core. You can check at any time what is installed.
Extensions with a contract
Every extension declares up front which version it works with. If it doesn't fit, it isn't installed.
Updates arrive over the wire
No developer on site, no project, no appointment. And because every extension knows which core it fits, only what fits ever arrives.
A backend people actually enjoy using.
Anyone coming from WordPress notices it within the first hour: fewer menus, fewer windows, less searching. A page is made of segments — a text block, a gallery, a product list. Whole topics like news, events or ad sales come as an extension. None of this has anything to do with AI. It is simply a tidy system.
Who may do what
Roles and permissions, finely adjustable. Being allowed to write does not mean being allowed to publish.
Pages from building blocks
Assemble pages from ready-made blocks, in a structure that stays clear as the website grows.
Navigation without a developer
Rearrange menus, move items, add levels – right in the backend, without having to ask anyone.
Media library
Images and files in folders, with image descriptions and an overview of where each one is used.
Write and improve
Edit text directly on the page. And when the copy is there but isn't working: shorten it, make it clearer, or have it rewritten — without leaving the page.
Draft, review, approval
Work without it going online immediately. And without two people overwriting the same page at once.
SEO is built in
You maintain titles and descriptions per page, right where you maintain the content. No add-on that someone has to install first.
Settings in one place
Logo, colours, languages, basic configuration – central, instead of scattered across a dozen places.
The AI sits where
you are already working.
No second tool, no switching windows. Translation, SEO and polishing copy happen in the segment and in the extension — exactly where the content is created. And you decide per task which AI does the work.
Writing
Teasers, article drafts, whole page structures — as a suggestion you accept, change or discard.
SEO
Title, description, heading structure and readability are checked and suggested while the text is being written.
Translation
Versions in context rather than word by word, with your glossary, so terminology is identical everywhere.
Structure
Suggestions for page layout, categories and cross-references. You decide what gets used.
Insight
How a text is read, where it stalls and what is worth reworking.
sp8 Credits
AI billed by consumption. You see what an action costs before you run it.
You decide
which AI does the work.
Translation runs on DeepL, writing on OpenAI or Claude, and anyone who needs processing inside Europe picks a European model. You set the provider per task — and a fallback route with it, in case one goes down. Buy a CMS with a single vendor hard-wired into it and you have bought that vendor's prices, that vendor's outages and that vendor's model changes along with it.
Our AI, via credits
You pick the model in the system and usage runs on sp8 credits. No separate contract, no separate billing — and you see what an action costs before you run it.
Or bring your own
Already have a contract with OpenAI, Anthropic or Azure? Connect it. You settle the tokens directly with your provider; with us you only pay for the functions running on top.
When something changes
Prices fall, a provider goes down, a policy demands European processing. You switch. Your content stays where it is.
The first assistant
explains the system to you.
It works from a knowledge base that is kept current with the actual documentation — so it knows how sp8 works today, not how it was described in last year's manual. Which means it answers what no manual answers: how do I do this? What is new? What is this extension for?
People and assistants work with the same capabilities, in the same segments and extensions. There is no second place where work happens — which is why you see everything, and why you decide.
The AI is allowed to help.
It is not allowed to publish.
The concern is justified: an AI that publishes to your live website unasked is a risk. With sp8 it can't — publishing is not a capability an sp8 agent has. The AI prepares, a human puts it live.
The steps that take longest simply disappear.
No setting up development environments, no building frontend and backend from scratch, no separate tools for migration and redirects. What remains is design and content — and how much of it you bring along.
At image-engineering.de the site was live after three to four weeks. What took time after that was writing the content — not the system.

The last relaunch
you will pay for.
A relaunch every three years is not a law of nature. It is the bill for a system that could no longer be updated. If the core is maintained and the extensions stay compatible, the reason disappears. You pay for evolution instead of rebuilding.
Modular by design – only what you need
The core covers what every website needs. Everything beyond that comes as an extension – proven in real projects, not announced as a roadmap. And whatever you can operate in an extension, an assistant can use too – with the same tools and the same permissions.

We show it live.
Not as a screenshot.
Thirty minutes: we change something with the AI, you reject it, we roll it back, and you see the full history. That is the whole demo. Anyone who cannot show you that in real time does not have it.
Request a demoWhat sp8 costs depends on what you need.
sp8 consists of a core and modules. The core covers what every website needs, everything beyond that you add individually – and only for as long as you use it. A price without knowing your scope would be a number without meaning, so we do the maths together. Honestly, in twenty minutes, with nothing to sign.
Core CMS
Pages, content, media, users and permissions, multilingual support, SEO basics. Included in every sp8.
Modules as needed
News, events, downloads, frontend editing, SEO suite and more. Bookable individually, extendable at any time. You don't pay for features you don't use.
See all modules →sp8 Credits for AI
Translation, structuring and SEO optimisation run on credits. Prepaid, no subscription lock-in: you see what an action costs before it runs, and you decide when AI is used.
What that means for your project depends on the scope — on how far the design goes, on the migration effort, and on the modules you actually need. Tell us what you have in mind.
The questions you'll ask anyway.
Thirty minutes.
Then you'll know.
We'll show you sp8 live and you ask the awkward questions. No slide deck, no sales pitch.
