FAQs about hosting CMS Made Simple

Is CMS Made Simple still a good choice today?

Check the current development activity of the project before committing a new site to it, since smaller CMS platforms can see slower update cycles than larger ecosystems. For most new projects, WordPress’s larger community and plugin ecosystem make it the more future-proof default, but CMS Made Simple remains a viable lightweight option for simple sites.
