Cool dashboards are not something we are used to seeing among CMS vendors, but it’s one of the things that stood out from the winning Directus demo at the prestigious CMS Idol 2024 contest held last week at CMS Kickoff 24 conference in Florida.

Directus is an open source composable CMS and CEO and Cofounder Ben Haynes did the one-man-show which won both big majority of the votes and also the stamp of approval from the three judges.

With each vendor being given only six minutes to their pitch, Ben managed to mix his time with both a few slides to set the stage and the live demo.
