In a strict sense, Calenco is not a web CMS, it is not specifically designed for that and it lacks many features compared to specialized Web CMS like Joomla, Drupal. Calenco manages content as XML, reusable components. While Calenco could serve as a Web CMS, because Calenco can generate any format in the output.
