GocikaCMS (flat file)

GocikaCMS is a very simple, flat file CMS that is SEO friendly and responsive - built in PHP (minimum requirements are PHP 5). It takes a few seconds to configure (just one config file). It works on all major browsers including mobile versions. It is absolutely mobile first.

The biggest difference between gocikaCMS and other flat file, responsive content management platforms is that its very small, takes seconds to start. It uses purecss.io and parsedown.org to produce wonderfully lightweight web pages. You use markdown to write the content and it outputs in bloat-free, fast, html.

You can create smart looking micro sites with ease, but if you want to extend them into full sites, then a bit of fiddling with HTML, maybe some PHP and you can have fully-fledged websites too - very SEO friendly.
