Sitecake is drag and drop CMS for static websites. It works with both HTML and PHP websites.
It has really minimal interface: the toolbar with content icons that floats on top of your website. With dragging and dropping content icons (text, photo, video…) to your website you are adding the content. Content can be drag and dropped from your desktop or different cloud services like YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Twitter, Google Maps, ...
Sitecake features easy integration and only basic editing capabilities, which makes it a perfect CMS for website owners who find WordPress too difficult.
Edit in Place, Drag and Drop Everything
Important Features
No template engine. It works with any HTML website.
No database. It’s flat file CMS, saves text to HTML, images to file system. Website is static all the time.
Simple integration. Add “sc-content” CSS class to divs that you want to become editable.
WYSIWYG. Edit text in place, resize and crop images in place. Edit live website, not lookalike copy in your admin.
Easy to upgrade. Just replace /sitecake folder with new version. Silent update (Google Chrome style) is on our road map.
Multi language UI (English, Spanish, Russian, German, French, Italian, Danish, Czech, Slovenian, Serbian, Slovak, Portuguese, Portuguese Brazil, Turkish, Norwegian, Dutch)
Sitecake is completely separate from your website. If you delete Sitecake, your website is still up to date, still working fine.
Static websites are much simpler, and much, much faster to load than a typical WordPress website. Google loves this.
Three Step Integration
Add ‘sc-content’ class to divs you want editable
Upload Sitecake to the same folder as your website
Point browser to http://domain.com/sitecake.php and login with ‘admin’ pass to start editing
Read more about integration in our docs.
