About TextCMS

TextCMS is not your typical Content Management System. It is a PHP library for easy web site development supporting templates, articles, modules and plugins. It is easy to install (just copy) and it does not require MySQL or any other database!

Of course you can create a web site using a popular Content Management System system like WordPress or Joomla. But such web sites are not flexibe, installation is not simple, backup and restore is a big pain, and it is difficult to move such web sites to another server or even create a local copy. It is also difficult to embed custom PHP code into the pages of web sites using classic Content Management Systems. Popular Content Management Systems often inject a lot of scripts into the produced HTML code, which is slow to load, and they are easy targets for hackers (just because they are very complex and popular)!

People are afraid to develop web sites using plain PHP. But with TextCMS you don't have to! You don't even need to know PHP (though PHP knowledge could help you to create a better web site). TextCMS is somewhere in between a typical Content Management System and a plain PHP library.

For quite some time I was supporting a few web sites created using popular Content Management Systems and finally decided to write one of my own. TextCMS is free for commercial and non-commercial use. You can also modify it as you wish. But redistribution of the system and modifications to a third party is prohibited. You can find the full license here. And yes, of course, this site was created using TextCMS!
