Build pages block by block, manage a blog, widgets, forms, media and menus, and publish in as many languages as you need. Give clients an admin panel that is easy to use.
Version 8 is a new generation built for PHP 8.2 to 8.5, with stronger security and support for extensions. Import a version 7 site in a few clicks while preserving its page URLs.
A CMS admin panel your clients can use
Edit content with one tab per language and follow recent changes on the dashboard. Drafts are saved as you type. Restore deleted content from the trash and prevent simultaneous edits with editing locks.
Media library with responsive images
Organise files in folders. Images are resized for different screens, with lighter WebP copies and a focal point to keep the subject in view.
Also in Pandao CMS Pro
Form builder and popups
Build quote requests, registration forms and surveys in a few clicks. Receive responses by email and keep them in the admin panel. Choose which pages display popups and when they appear.
Multilingual websites, right-to-left included
Publish in unlimited languages, including right-to-left scripts. Translate all text and emails, with clean URLs, hreflang tags and a sitemap for each language.
Security and privacy
Prepared queries, protected forms, strict security headers and limits on login attempts, plus a cookie banner with “Reject all” and a privacy policy page.
Extensions that leave the core untouched
Add modules, pages, widgets, settings, roles and automatic tasks without modifying the core. Manage updates from the Extensions page. Booking add-ons are available separately: Multi Resorts for several properties and Panda Resort for a single property.
Installation wizard and server check
Use the installation wizard to get started and the Diagnostic screen to check your server. Automatic tasks run with or without a cron job, and complete documentation is included.

Questions about Pandao CMS Pro
Can I try it before buying?
Yes. The live demo includes the admin panel: sign in with username admin and password admin123 and try the page builder, widgets, forms and media. Changes made by visitors are reset every night.
Can my Pandao CMS website accept property bookings?
Yes. Install Panda Resort Add-on for a single hotel, resort or guest house, or Multi Resorts Add-on for several properties, through the Extensions page. Both add rooms, rates, online bookings and payments, calendar synchronisation and guest reviews. Your existing content stays in place; booking pages and blocks appear when you publish your first property.
What hosting do I need?
Standard PHP hosting: PHP 8.2 to 8.5, MySQL 5.7 or MariaDB 10.3 or later, and Apache with mod_rewrite, which most hosting plans provide. HTTPS is recommended. After installation, the Diagnostic screen checks your server for you.
Do I need to be a developer?
Not to run a site. Upload the files, create a database and let the installation wizard do the rest; pages, articles, menus, forms and translations are then managed from the admin panel. Building a theme or an extension calls for PHP, HTML and CSS, and the documentation explains each step.
Can I change the design?
Set your logo and brand colours in Settings, arrange widgets and build pages with the page builder. For deeper changes, a child theme keeps your own templates and styles apart, so updates never overwrite them. We also take on custom work on request: integrations, new features or design.
Which licence do I need?
A Regular licence covers one website, yours or a client's: an agency buys one licence per client site. If people pay to use the site itself, for example a website builder you sell as a service, you need the Extended licence. See Envato's licence terms.
Is it a one-off payment?
Yes. You pay once on CodeCanyon and every update is free. Six months of support are included: extend them to twelve when you buy, or renew them later.
How do I move my version 7 site to version 8?
Install version 8 alongside your version 7 site, on the same hosting account, with a new, empty database. Open Settings › Database › Import a Pandao CMS 7 site to transfer content, accounts, media and settings while preserving page URLs. The importer only reads the old site and does not change it. Follow the step-by-step documentation.
