Our Story

LightCMS is the flagship product of Element Fusion, a self-funded, debt-free company located in Oklahoma City. We began in 1999 as a traditional web design and development firm with 100 square feet of borrowed warehouse space as an office. Our approach has always been a simple one — to exceed our customers' expectations with amazing work. In 2006, we took that approach into the realm of web-based software development, launching LightCMS. Profitable from day one, we've been recognized as one of the fastest-growing companies in the United States, landing on the Inc. 5000 for four consecutive years.
