Features :pushpin:

XML Based

We don't use mySQL to store our information, but instead depend the simplicity of XML. By utilizing XML, we are able stay away from introducing an extra layer of slowness and complexity associated with connecting to a mySQL database. Because GetSimple was built specifically for the small-site market, we feel this is the absolutely best option for data storage.

Easy to Learn UI

The top priority when designing our user-interface was to make it the best in it's class. We had the luxury of trying and testing all the competing management systems before designing ours, so we took the best out of each one - then refined it.

Simple Installation

The total time in setting up a website took a total of 5 minutes, from starting the FTP to finishing the setup procedure.

Easy Theme Customization

We have how to documents that show you how to create a custom theme. Our goal was not to bloat our software with hundreds of little-used theme functions, but to offer more than enough to allow for a fully customized theme.

Plugins & Expandability

Designed to be light and agile, the base install comes to you clutter free, without dozens of extras you dont need. But of course we do have an ever growing selection of extensions ready to use and easy to install. Everything that you or your client are looking for…

History :pushpin:

GetSimple CMS was created in 2009 and primarily developed for the creation of smaller websites, it is also became suitable for medium to large websites thanks to the extendability of the platform via plug-ins and themes. Though by 2020, development had slowed considerably as the original team were no longer able to dedicate their time and resources to the project.
Recognizing the lapse in development and support on the current official website, we've taken the initiative to breathe new life into the platform by providing the essential updates it deserves, ensuring the advancement of this vital project.
We're driven by a shared commitment to uphold the importance of GetSimple CMS project and community. Leveraging our firsthand experience with GetSimple CMS, we understand its value as a solution.
