SkyBlueCanvas Lightweight CMS is Free Software!

SkyBlueCanvas Lightweight CMS is an open source, free content management system written in php and built specifically for small web sites. The entire site you are viewing is a demonstration of the SkyBlueCanvas lightweight CMS. SkyBlueCanvas is custom-built for those instances when more robust systems like Joomla, WordPress and Drupal are too much horsepower.

SkyBlueCanvas makes it very easy to keep the content of your site fresh without having to learn a lot of complicated features, templating systems or configuration. You simply upload the software to your web server, and you are ready to start adding text and pictures to your web site.

Lightweight and simple does not mean simplistic, however. SkyBlueCanvas includes a lot of the same basic abilities as more robust systems but in a simpler form. The software is not meant to be all things to all users but it does offer features you expect like a familiar Plugin API, Extensibility and skinnability.
