Earlier this month, we launched a version of cms-lite for a non-profit organization.

What is CMS-Lite?

It’s an open-source Content Management System (CMS) designed with three key goals:

Easy to Use: Anyone, regardless of technical expertise, should be able to manage their online presence.

Low Resource Requirements: CMS-Lite is built to run smoothly on affordable hosting platforms.

CMS-Lite creates static websites.

Why Static Websites?

Static websites are ideal for several reasons:

SEO Friendly: They excel in Search Engine Optimization (SEO), making them easy to find online.

Fast Loading: They can be deployed on Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), speeding up page load times worldwide.

Secure & Cost-Effective: Since they lack a complex back-end, they’re more secure and less expensive to maintain than dynamic websites.

Breaking Down Barriers

Static websites are perfect for individuals, non-profits, small businesses, and even large companies. However, building them often requires technical knowledge, hindering many from creating their online space.

CMS-Lite: The Solution

We created CMS-Lite to break down these barriers. We prioritized user-friendliness, and based on early user feedback, we’re confident we’ve achieved that goal.

The Future of CMS-Lite

While still under development, we have big plans for CMS-Lite, including a hosted version called Share-Lite. Share-Lite will be accessible to everyone with just a few clicks and a signup, making website creation easier than ever.

We’re excited about the potential of CMS-Lite and Share-Lite to empower people to build their online presence. Stay tuned for future updates!
