🗄️
No database, ever
Runs entirely on flat files stored in your project directory. No MySQL setup, no PostgreSQL, no connection strings. Your content travels with your code and deploys wherever your code does.
🎨
Flexible theme system
Build or install themes using standard PHP, HTML, and CSS. OuterCMS themes are just templates — no proprietary templating language to learn, no magic functions to memorize.
📁
Media management
Upload, organize, and embed images and files through a clean admin interface. Media is stored as regular files that you can back up, version control, or migrate with a simple file copy.
⚡
Fast by default
Without database queries on every request, pages load fast out of the box. No caching plugins to configure, no query optimization required, no connection pool to manage.
👥
Multi-user access
Create admin accounts with role-based permissions. Control who can create content, manage media, change themes, or adjust site settings — without over-engineering the auth system.
🚀
Host anywhere
If the server runs PHP 7.4 or later, it runs OuterCMS. Shared hosting, VPS, dedicated server — your choice. No Docker containers, no Node runtime, no infrastructure surprises.
