On the plus side, for some: it&#8217;s included in Installatron<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a aria-label=\"Pluck (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pluck-cms.org\/?file=home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pluck<\/a> \u22c5 The interface looks a little dated but it works well, and is very simple to use. This is still receiving security updates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a aria-label=\"SingleCMS (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/singlecms.com\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SingleCMS<\/a> \u22c5 This one is new, it launched this year, and you have to pay for it: you pay $39\/year per domain. It has a nice front-end editor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a aria-label=\"Sitecake (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/sitecake.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sitecake<\/a> \u22c5 This one seems a little different. The content is directly part of the HTML page, in that sense I&#8217;m not actually sure it is a CMS (since there is no separation of content and the actual page, with reusable templates) but you can make new pages and edit the pages online.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a aria-label=\"Yellow (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/datenstrom.se\/yellow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Yellow<\/a> \u22c5 Yellow seems very sympathetic and easy to use. It&#8217;s pretty and perhaps a little too minimalist almost but I&#8217;m very tempted by it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a aria-label=\"Bolt (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/bolt.cm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bolt<\/a> \u22c5 Not really a flat-file CMS because it uses a SQL database but it is SQLite. Well documented and actively development. Looks very good, and easy to use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Edit 2024: <a href=\"https:\/\/klay.dev\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Klay<\/a> This too is not technically a flat-file CMS, but it uses SQLite. It is also headless, so you can attach\/create your own front end. It is well documented, very flexible and fast. Free for personal use and $299 per project for commercial use after which it is $99\/year for updates. I will probably never use it but someone else might, so I&#8217;m adding it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a first post with a list of flat-file CMSs and this is the second one.
