CrowdWare / FlatSiteBuilder

A CMS like desktop app to create flat and very fast web sites.

This desktop app is working as a content mangement system and is producing web content to use with github pages or any other service provider. I have been inspired by Wordpress and the Divi - PageBuilder.

Have a look at our web site: https://artanidos.github.io/FlatSiteBuilder
