CMSimple_XH

Flat-file content management system that stores its data in files and needs no database.

CMSimple_XH keeps pages and settings as files on the server and needs no database, so installing it means copying its files to a PHP web server over FTP. Editors change the site in the browser in admin mode, and plugins from the project’s plugin repository add features. A team of several members maintains it. The project’s history page describes the classic CMSimple by Peter Harteg and says a group of CMSimple enthusiasts began CMSimple_XH in 2009.

Worth knowing

The project’s site states the license as GPL3, and GitHub reports none for the repository.
