nanoCMS created by Kalyan Chakravarthy in 2007 is a php open source, gpl licensed flat file content management system (CMS). It does not use a MySQL database and is ideal for small websites. It is a very small CMS package (hence the nano part). Doesn't take long to setup and is very simple to create pages and edit content. As it is small and doesn't use a mysql database..... it's fast, very fast.

Update October 2011 - The nanoCMS.co.uk forum is now read only and 'nanoCMS Community' has ceased development.

To use the CMS you require php 5 (released in 2004) and an apache server is recommended. FTP access is also recommended, though not necessary if you can upload files and change file permissions via your hosts control panel. No MySQL database server is required.

If you wish to try out the CMS before uploading to your web host providers server, XAMPP is an excellent free suite of packages that allow you to try the content management system on a local Windows desktop. Enabling you to test, setup a template and perform limited configuration before migrating to your hosting providers server.

If you have any questions related to the content management system please don't hesitate to ask in the forum. You also can find 'tweakers' to extend the CMS functionality and other downloads in the active community forum: here
