Quick.Cms is a free content management system based on a Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 licence. It is written in PHP, so it runs on most internet servers. It does not require using SQL-type database as it writes all data to secure text files (plain text). It makes this tool easy to install.

The general features includes:
* adding pages (in different languages) and subpages (with no depth limit),
* photos and files management,
* meta data specified for each page,
* WYSIWYG or default editor for descriptions fields,
* language files manager.

Design (logic and presentational layers are separated from each other, so it is possible to change design without PHP knowledge):
