FlexPortal is a web-based application designed for online publishing, content management, and general website design using a click and build editor. The original proof of concept was developed by Mark Mesenko and Sean Gabriel Heacock in 1999 as a user-configurable portal. The original PHP-based system was rewritten in C by a team headed by Luke Schelvan in 2000. In 2001 the project took a turn, and the FlexPortal engine became the first web-based, redundant, multi-node information and referral system for use in the national 2-1-1 initiative, and was put into use by the Montana 2-1-1 coalition, at which point, the software was completely re-written by John (Drew) Kearns in . Later, FlexPortal's engine was re-purposed to serve the online publishing and CMS markets.
