What is Synaptik CMS?

Anyone who wants a fast, portable, no-database website. Synaptik's intuitive interface is designed for ease of use, catering to non-technical users while still offering flexibility and customization options for developers.

Synaptik CMS is flat-file based, meaning it doesn't require a database, which makes it ideal for smaller websites and quick deployments.

Whether it's a personal blog, an online portfolio, a small business site, a documentation hub or a project showcase, Synaptik CMS natively offers everything you need to create a beautiful and very fast website.

Synaptik CMS runs on any shared hosting plan that supports PHP 8.0 — no special server configuration, no database add-on, no elevated permissions required. The kind of €3/month plan that most hosting providers offer is more than enough. WordPress, Ghost, or Craft CMS can't say the same.

It also means your entire site is just files. You can open your content in any text editor, sync it with Git, or move it to a different host in under five minutes. No export wizard, no database dump, no compatibility issues.
