I've been managing this website using only my thumb on my smart phone

Who is Don Cormier?

Don CormierHello! My name is Don Cormier, and I’d like to personally welcome you to my blog, where curiosity meets creativity. As the founder and visionary behind PieCMS, it’s only fitting that I use this space to demonstrate the capabilities of the world’s first Multi-site Content Management System for supporting websites. This isn’t just a personal blog–it’s a reflection of the philosophy that drives PieCMS: simplicity and intuitiveness.

One of the core principles that built PieCMS is this: “PieCMS is so intuitive – that by its mere appearance, our customers understand how to use it.” That’s why I’ve chosen to use it here–to step into the shoes of my customers and continually refine the experience. This blog gives me the opportunity to test, improve, and innovate while sharing stories, ideas, and things I find cool along the way.

This isn’t a corporate website–if you’re looking for that, you can visit Doncor.com to explore our portfolio and see PieCMS in action. Here, though, I’m just Don: a creator, an enthusiast, and a lifelong learner who enjoys writing about what sparks interest and inspiration.

So, whether you’re here to learn more about the software I’m perfecting or to explore my musings on the world, I hope you find something that resonates with you. And if PieCMS intrigues you, be sure to check it out–you might just discover how easy managing your own website can be.
