About CMS Made Simple

CMS Made Simple is a open source content management system that focuses on ease of use for both developers and site editors. It provides a clean admin interface, template-based design using Smarty, and a modular plugin system for extending functionality. The software is written in PHP and uses MySQL or PostgreSQL for data storage.

It supports multiple languages out of the box, has a built-in file manager, news manager, and a WYSIWYG editor for editing content. Modules are available through the official module repository for adding ecommerce, forums, calendars, and more. The platform runs on standard LAMP/LEMP stacks and includes a permissions system for managing editor roles.

This system is ideal for small to medium websites where simplicity and control are valued over complex user interfaces. It has been maintained since 2004 by the CMS Made Simple development team and remains free to use, modify, and distribute under the GPL license.
