> Static CMS has been archived. The project originally started as a way of keeping NetlifyCMS (now [Decap CMS](https://decapcms.org/)) alive, which at the time was abandoned. Since then, Decap CMS has been revitalized. Along with other great alternatives, like [Tina CMS](https://tina.io/), 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.
2022-10-11 07:51:47 -04:00
2019-04-06 03:05:44 +05:00
## How It Works
2016-06-05 12:48:28 -07:00
2022-10-02 20:06:20 -04:00
Static CMS is a single-page app that you pull into the `/admin` part of your site.
2016-06-05 12:48:28 -07:00
It presents a clean UI for editing content stored in a Git repository.
2023-01-17 12:12:16 -05:00
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.
2016-06-05 12:48:28 -07:00
2023-01-17 12:12:16 -05:00
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.

# Installation and Configuration
2016-09-20 11:29:45 -03:00
2022-10-02 20:06:20 -04:00
The Static CMS can be used in two different ways.
2016-09-20 11:29:45 -03:00
2023-01-17 12:12:16 -05:00
- 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.
2024-09-09 10:34:35 -04:00
To learn more about this installation method, refer to the [CDN Hosting Guide ](https://staticjscms.netlify.app/docs/add-to-your-site-cdn/ )
2023-01-17 12:12:16 -05:00
- 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.
2024-09-09 10:34:35 -04:00
To learn more about this installation method, refer to the [Bundling Guide ](https://staticjscms.netlify.app/docs/add-to-your-site-bundling/ )
