We&amp;#x27;re putting the final touches to an Open Source Jekyll CMS we&amp;#x27;ve built for ourselves (called Jekyll+) that does just that; give a nicer interface for marketing folks and provide multilingual support out of the box.&lt;p&gt;Preview of my local copy we&amp;#x27;re prepping up for a release end of the week: &lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;i.imgur.com&amp;#x2F;1VyxGzqr.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;i.imgur.com&amp;#x2F;1VyxGzqr.png&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Happy to have you testing it out and give me feedback.</text></comment>
