PicoPHP
An open-source and eco-designed CMS

PicoPHP is a PHP framework and CMS that is completely free. It was designed for small to medium architectures, with a focus on simplicity rather than going for a "jack-of-all-trades" approach.

Easy to use, for everyone

PicoPHP aims to be easy to use for everyone: from the administrator who uses the CMS interface to update the website content to the developer who creates websites.

Friendly code

The simplicity of PicoPHP allows for an easy learning curve. Its simple and clean structure makes it easy for you to understand what it is doing and how it works rather than having to rely on some kind of "magic".

An unbloated & eco-designed foundation

PicoPHP has a lean and solid foundation, avoiding the sometimes counter-productive "jack-of-all-trades" approach of some other solutions. This allows the core code to be updated for many years and prevent obsolescence. 

Front-end

PicoPHP doesn't try to reinvent the front-end wheel: it is based on the popular Twig templating system and offers an integrated SCSS compilator (optional).

Completely free

PicoPHP is completely free: you can update it, copy it or even resell it without any intellectual property or agreement.

Object-relational mapping

There is a very simple object-relational mapping in PicoPHP that allows you to define models without worrying about the database structure. Who knows, maybe you won't even need phpMyAdmin!
