CMSimple is a free content management system . CMSimple requires a web server with PHP support from version 5.6. A database is not required. All data is saved in a simple file system and, from version 5.0, processed on the basis of h1 headings with special CSS classes on individual pages with a maximum structure depth of 6 levels. Because of this concept, CMSimple is suitable for small and medium-sized websites. It does not have a user administration, but pages maintained by guest authors can be integrated. CMSimple requires a very short training period.

CMSimple is listed in the Heise Verlag software directory.

history
