Eugen,

Thanks for the interest! Mind if i ask you a couple follow up questions?


   - Are you looking to brand the CMS application or the website /
   application which gets produced by the CMS?
   - If you are looking to brand the CMS is this more of a put an icon at
   the top and change colors or would you want to completely change the look
   and feel?
   - The custom components, are these customizations to the CMS or to the
   websites?

BTW, if you want to see what's possible with the current version, I'm using
it to power my personal website:

https://www.danklco.com

Here's the code for that:

https://github.com/klcodanr/danklco.com-site/tree/sling-cms

What I especially like is the "list" concept. Basically, you can pretty
easily create a list of items and style it by extending this component:

https://github.com/apache/sling-whiteboard/tree/master/
cms/reference/src/main/resources/jcr_root/apps/reference/components/general/
list

For example, to create my tag pages:

https://www.danklco.com/tags.html/etc/taxonomy/adobe/adobe-
experience-manager

I created a taglist component which just overrides the item output to style
the tag items the way I wanted:
https://github.com/klcodanr/danklco.com-site/tree/sling-
cms/src/main/resources/jcr_root/apps/danklco-com/components/lists/taglist

And then created a page with that taglist component on it.
