Gold Content Management System

Not another CMS... Well yes, another. This system integrates 20 years of HTML, CSS, PHP, and Javascript. The result is a CMS that is lightweight with zero back end to fuss with. There is no database because all content an organizational layout are gleaned from the directory structure and a few json files. When creating a new page, one simply copies the template directory to the desired location and only page-details.json and page-content.html need to be updated. The CMS is stored in a Git repository and one can simply git pull to get speed enhancements and no need to backup or restore your website content.

The learning curve is intended to take only a few hours and to never get more complicated. You have full control to add any type of content with an emphasis on writing the code directly rather than learning a CMS system. So what you learn will be actual coding skills.

This CMS is intended to be as process light as possible and if anything will get lighter with time rather than heavier. We lean on the standards of HTML5 CSS3, PHP, Javascript, and the browsers themselves to accomplish what traditionally took complicated CMS back ends to achieve.
