Why CMS Made Simple™?
CMS Made Simple™ provides a mechanism for the website administrator to create and manage "pages", their layout, and their content. CMS Made Simple™ is unobtrusive.... You can create a table based layout, or a fully validating XHTML/CSS layout.

CMS Made Simple™ makes managing the navigation in your website a breeze... you can re-organize your pages any way you want, and navigations are automatically created from your page hierarchy. This tool makes creating numerous different navigations with the entire page hierarchy, or a subset of it "simple".

CMS Made Simple™ separates layout code from content code, so that editors can manage content without having to know much about how websites work, so that layouts can be easily edited and take effect on numerous pages, and can be easily shared. With CMS Made Simple™ you design once, and easily use that same design over and over again. Smarty (a php based templating engine) is used to provide most of the caching, templating, and logic capabilities. This basic building block also provides the ability for website administrators to virtually eliminate any duplication of code or content.
