Typemill
A flat-file CMS for authors and designers who want to build websites without a database.
About Typemill
Typemill is a flat-file content management system designed around the Markdown editor. It stores everything as simple text files, which makes setup fast and hosting lightweight. You get a clean, distraction-free writing interface on the front end. For designers, it uses a flexible theme system built with Twig templates, so you can customize layouts without touching PHP logic.
The system runs on any PHP 7.4+ server with no MySQL or PostgreSQL required. It supports YAML-based settings, image management, and automatic table of contents generation for longer pages. Plugins extend core functionality, and the theme engine lets you override templates per page. The project is open source and maintained by the Typemill team, with a modest but active community.
This CMS is best suited for small sites, documentation hubs, and personal blogs where you want version-controlled content and zero database maintenance. It is free software released under the MIT license, so you can fork and adapt it freely. Writers who prefer Markdown over WYSIWYG editors will feel right at home.
