I want to develop a website which will have only html pages and I just want to manage links, edit conent, images etc. Can you guys please suggest some CMS which can work on flat files?
Hi, If you want to manage only urls then Joomla + sh404sef can do this. With sh404sef you can have custom urls, that's mean you can create a url which ends with ".html " or what ever you like. But if you want a cms that generates html pages, then sorry can't suggest any.
wordpress custom permalink settings can give u .html pages url. Its best according to ur requirements. You can also try drupal.
Drupal is bit difficult, i think. Joomla with SEO patch from Joomlatwork.com will give .htm pages which u can edit n ny thing. Wordpress can be used as a CMS and is easy.
use wordpress ita a magic cms . you can do anything what you need in wordpress . just use the static option in the settings in admin panel and also change you permalink settings , it will give you a html pages web site . I have allready made many sites in wordpress for my clients.
Using just one PHP line in each pages can help you out too. All the pages will be named .php though. Using the include for things that are repeated, like the menu, is the way to go. I've designed many sites with the only bit of PHP code being <?php include 'menu.php' ?> Code (markup): This little line and CSS are must haves for hand crafted sites.
you can try Subrion CMS. you can edit pages content via admin panel WYSIWYG editor. URLs are search engine friendly
Zimplit is free open source cms too, it has online editor so you can edit your page right at site, no admin area. Also you can use any template you wish.
CMSimple.dk might work for flat files, it simply generates a set of pages from a content stored in a single HTML file. Of course, its suitability depends on your requirements - I'm not quite sure if that would be exactly what you mean.
I found LightNEasy more simple and very easy to customize, also it has a flat file version as well which do not require DB. Recently I have dont a site (flowers) using LightNEasy and till now its coming out good. Also modified to generate HTML files with custom title, description and keywords for each page.
If wordpress changes to .html, does it mean it doesn't perform SQL query anymore? Please explain how this .html function work and what the advantages are. Thanks.
For HTML Designing you need softwares like adobe dreamweaver and some similar softwares, Earlier we used to have Frontpage,User WYSIWYG Editors, HTML and CSS is easy.
