Kirby

File-based, flexible CMS that adapts to any project structure.

Kirby is a file-based CMS built in PHP that stores content as plain text files instead of a database, giving developers full control over structure, templates, and fields. It ships a customizable Panel admin interface and a built-in headless REST and Query API, making it popular for bespoke websites and portfolios.
