Important
Static CMS has been archived. The project originally started as a way of keeping NetlifyCMS (now Decap CMS) alive, which at the time was abandoned. Since then, Decap CMS has been revitalized. Along with other great alternatives, like Tina CMS, there are better options out there than what StaticCMS provided. Thus the decision was made to cease development.
A CMS for static site generators. Give users a simple way to edit and add content to any site built with a static site generator.
Static CMS is a single-page app that you pull into the /admin part of your site.
It presents a clean UI for editing content stored in a Git repository.
You setup a YAML config to describe the content model of your site, and typically tweak the main layout of the CMS a bit to fit your own site.
When a user navigates to /admin/ they'll be prompted to log in, and once authenticated they'll be able to create new content or edit existing content.

The Static CMS can be used in two different ways.
- A Quick and easy install, that requires you to create a single HTML file and a configuration file. All the CMS JavaScript and CSS are loaded from a CDN. To learn more about this installation method, refer to the CDN Hosting Guide
- A complete, more complex install, that gives you more flexibility but requires that you use a static site builder with a build system that supports npm packages. To learn more about this installation method, refer to the Bundling Guide
