Easy to Learn UI

The top priority when designing our user-interface was to make it the best in it's class. We had the luxury of trying and testing all the competing management systems before designing ours, so we took the best out of each one - then refined it.

Simple Installation

The total time in setting up a website took a total of 5 minutes, from starting the FTP to finishing the setup procedure.

Simple Theme Customization

A new site from scratch or converting an existing site - it's a simple job for anyone who understands basic html. No php knowledge is required and there is clear documentation to help you

Highly Extensible

The simplicity of the GetSimple Core makes it highly adaptable and extensible. There are many updated plugins available and GetSimple has become a favorite for Gallery sites, Blogs, Multi-Language sites, single page scrolling sites, clubs and small businesses with slideshows, multi-user capability, contact forms, and loads more. It works with html5, Bootstrap, Skeleton, less, scss, splash pages, you name it.

XML Based

We don't use a database to store your information, but instead depend on the simplicity of XML files. By utilizing XML, we are able stay away from introducing an extra layer of complexity and latency associated with connecting to a mySQL database. GetSimple was built specifically for the small-site market, but XML has proved absolutely the best option for data storage for sites from one page to over a hundred pages.
