SonaCMS
A CMS with no database to babysit. Faster pages, better rankings.
For Developers
Pages and posts are stored as plain JSON files, not rows in a database you have to back up, migrate, and secure. Install it, point PHP at it, and you're done.
Features
- Storage — Content is just files. Every page lives at assets/content/pages/*.json. Read it, diff it, back it up with plain cp if you want to.
- Performance — No query overhead. No ORM, no connection pool, no N+1 queries. Pages render straight from the filesystem.
- Ownership — Self-hosted by default. Upload it to any host that runs PHP. No managed database service, no vendor lock-in.
For Business
SonaCMS builds pages that load quickly and are structured the way search engines like — without plugins to manage or software updates to worry about.
Features
- Speed — Pages load fast. Fast-loading pages keep visitors around longer and tend to rank better in search results.
- Simplicity — Nothing to update. No plugin library to keep patched. Fewer moving parts means fewer things that can break.
- Editing — A simple page & post editor. Write and publish pages and blog posts without touching code.
