CouchCMS

Flat-file CMS for designers that turns static HTML sites into editable, database-free content management.

About CouchCMS

CouchCMS is a flat-file content management system built for web designers. It lets you add CMS capabilities to existing static HTML sites without requiring a database. The system uses PHP and works by embedding tags into your HTML templates, keeping the design control fully in your hands.

The platform supports editable regions, repeatable areas, dynamic pages with custom routing, and user management with roles. It integrates with any web server running PHP 5.4 or later. Notable features include cloning of pages, photo gallery management, and nested editable regions. CouchCMS is designed to work seamlessly with frontend frameworks and doesn't impose a specific template structure.

It is ideal for freelancers and agencies who want to provide clients with an easy-to-use admin panel without the overhead of a traditional CMS like WordPress. The software is free and open source under the MIT license, with no paywalls or feature restrictions. It's actively maintained by its community and available on GitHub.
