WhiteCrane

WhiteCrane is a CMS(Content Management System) that requires no database and is designed for anything from personal websites to development documentation respiratory's.

WhiteCrane allows you to update and manage your sites pages. Use BBCode and other syntax native to the parser. While the simplicity makes it ideal for personal websites it can also be used on a high risk level thanks to the use of simple yet effective authentication system.

Features

Perfect for wiki-like and developement sites.
Built from the ground up to bring you cutting edge performance.
Simple file editing without having to deal with buggy WYSIWYG editors.
Very efficient makes getting things done easy.
Secure hash based authentication

WhiteCrane can be put to work in many situations such as serving as a simple portfolio site, running a development wiki or sometimes we even get international review thanks to the use of UTF-8 to break the language and encoding barrier. But maybe you had other plans? then why not give it a try and see!
