Everyone's familiar with WordPress and Joomla. They're both very popular content management systems that are fairly easy to use but require a bit of juggling in terms of setting up their database. Sometimes you just want a simple, super-flexible CMS that isn't so database-dependent.

Kirby is just such an application. This file-based CMS is simple to install, easy to use, and ridiculously flexible, with no database required, making backups a breeze and content editing super fast. It's also tremendously affordable, thanks to this Mighty Deal!

Kirby CMS Highlights:

  • Quick Setup
    To install Kirby you simply upload some files to your server and... well, that's it. Nothing more. There are no databases to setup, no crazy long 10-step setup wizards. Just upload and you're done.
  • Control Your Content
    There's no limit to what content you can include in Kirby and there's no fixed structure either. Toss in blog articles, photo galleries, simple pages, or even complicated product sheets. It's totally up to you!
  • Set Your Own Style
    You won't get the same old predefined templates that every other website owner is working of off. Kirby steps out of the way of your design and lets you build whatever site you want based on your own design and your own templates, through simple HTML coding. You can easily create your own templates for any page without further setup.
  • No Database to Slow Things Down
    Kirby doesn't work with a database at all. No SQL needed. Instead it works off a file-based system, so backups are a breeze, and you can edit your content in the blink of an eye using your favorite editor.
  • Flexible API
    Inspired by jQuery, Kirby's API is insanely flexible and simple to learn.
  • Markdown Syntax
    Stylize your content using a powerful, extended version of the much-used Markdown syntax. Easy to learn and simple to execute.
  • Hook into Dropbox
    You can connect your Kirby CMS with your dropbox to pass files around seamlessly. All you need is a VPS or dedicated server and suddenly instant backups are a cinch. 
  • Tremendous Resources
    No need to worry, because Kirby includes extensive documentation, tutorials and a robust support forum. You can also get personalized assistance if you need further help.
  • Sleek Web Interface
    If you prefer a simple web interface to the nifty file-based system, you can switch any time to the optional Kirby Panel which will easily help you administer your site and related files.
  • Simple Requirements
    You don't need to spend a fortune on souped-up servers either. Just make sure you have PHP 5.2 or higher and an Apache server and you are set to go!
