CMS Made Simple (CMSMS) is a free open source (GPL) content management system (CMS) to provide developers, programmers and site owners a web-based development and administration area.

CMS Made Simple is an open source package, built using PHP with support for MySQL and PostgreSQL. The template system is driven using the Smarty Template Engine. CMS Made Simple aims to provide easy development and customization with themes, add-on modules, dynamic menus, tags and translations.

Features

CMS Made Simple has a web-based admin section for theme, template, and stylesheet development, installing and updating add-on modules, configuring page content blocks, and user groups and permissions.

Modules

CMS Made Simple itself is designed as a base package that does not impose unnecessary modules and functionality on the user. It requires that site owners add modules and tags appropriate to the site. A small number of core modules are included with the default installation, notably a news manager, search function, and WYSIWYG editor (TinyMCE).
