recommend me a lightweight cms...

[SooTyLaD]

hi guys...

I would like to start using some sort of pre-packaged lightweight cms... is there anything out there you guys would recommend that is as simple as this:

• you add some sort of markup to your html which implies that bit it client-editable

• they then log in and that section is there in a text box ready for editing... they then change and save...

simple as that...

does something like this even exist? want no bells or whistles just a nice lightweight way for clients to edit text and images. i'm sure its not too hard to write but i'm pretty busy and dont really want to reinvent the wheel

any ideas?

subdreamer, I think that they do a free lite version as well but I'm not sure

hmm that one looks like a lot of other cmss i have seen in that you unzip something onto your server, and then skin/customize it to do what you want...

is there not something you can add to an existing site and add tags in, something like this:

<div id="example">
  <p>(--MainParagraph--)</p>
</div>

and then when you log into the backend, a section called MainParagraph shows up and allows you to edit?

i really do only want something this simple...

Cushy Cms

Impressive stuff. May find a use for that myself. Thanks

yeah cushy cms is really nice, but i need something just like that but that i can install and run on the clients servers...

does what i want even exist? the kind of simplicity and usability of cushycms but one that does not run from a remote website, i.e. downloadable?

Try cutenews - http://cutephp.com/ It runs via flat files and you simply add bit of code to each page to display your content. Haven't come across a simpler cms tbh.
