Looking For CMS that outputs HTML

    I'm looking for a simple CMS that can drop content into a HTML template I provide, and spit out HTML pages.

    I want the flexibility to be able to tweak sidebar, footer, whatever content, alter the template, and not have to change 1,000 static HTML pages individually.

    I have run Wordpress for too many years to count, but it's time to move on. My site is growing rapidly, and the security/CPU load issues of Wordpress just aren't for me anymore.

    I understand why you like Wordpress, so please don't respond trying to re-convert me. I simply want a CMS that spits out HTML pages.

    Thanks in advance.

    it seems pretty straight forward what you want. Why don't you write a PHP script that does that? It should be quicker to do that than try to find the perfect CMS.

    It is a matter of some includes(), fopen(), fwrite(), fclose()

    If you want something lightweight then try snews.

    Personally I would recommend drupal as a complete CMS. Its got caching build into it so it shouldn't be too demanding of your web server.

    Thanks for the suggestions abdussamad...I'll check them out.

    ironman...on paper a nice idea, but I don't know PHP, and don't have time to learn. I'm looking for a bit more practical solution.

    I am already running Wordpress. Please see original post.

    My site is growing rapidly and I need a more secure, non-CPU intensive platform - that is why I want to move to static HTML. -

    I have done the really simple one with asp when i went to college. But the idea is, you have the content management and at the end of it will create html files with just one click button and it will export and overwrite your html files.
    And my friends build the desktop version with C#, but the idea is similiar.

    Well, i found these cms:
    Movable Type
    Typo3
    Drupal (just for not-logged-in users)
    TextPattern

    I think there are more, which can cache entire pages to html.

    Altough i think wordpress with wp-super cache is one of the best and lightweight solution to your problem... there is no solution to high traffic, just one :
    higher traffic - stronger server, better host

    So i think you should use drupal or wordpress. (i prefer drupal, but with huge traffic, and with logged in users it can be a cpu eater too)
