10 Lightweight and Easy to Use Open-Source CMS

Ten lightweight content management systems (CMS) recommendations, say goodbye to bloat and embrace simplicity!

Not all website projects require a multi-functional content management system. Sometimes, a lightweight, simple system is the best choice. We have carefully selected ten lightweight CMSs (not file size, but system complexity) to help you and your customers manage content easily! Of course, this article won't mention WordPress, although I think it's the best free open source CMS right now.
