A Content Management System (CMS) with too many features is not always the best option for every web design project, sometimes all you need is something with a smaller and really lightweight. So we have collected a list of “light” (not literally lightweight but simpler systems) for you and your clients to manage content in harmony!

Obviously, WordPress is not mentioned here but is in my opinion the best Free, Open Source CMS going right now.

1. Zimplit CMS


Extremely lightweight, simple, customizable and open-source. It’s very easy to install, and easy to use via a simple web interface and it consists of only one core engine file.

2. CMS from Scratch


Is a quick, easy, and open-source solution that lets web designers give their customers a web site they can edit themselves.

3. PageLime

4. CMS Made Simple

5. CushyCMS

9. Pixie


It uses the latest web standards so whatever site you build, it’s accessible to all your visitors and is search engine friendly and you will love the fact that all you need to know is CSS to customize your site.

10. Symphony


Symphony leverages open standards like XML and XSLT, and good old XHTML and CSS. Even the admin interface employs the widely-used jQuery library, so extension developers don’t have to learn a whole new framework when extending the back end.
