Babble CMS
==========

[](#babble-cms)

Babble is a simple content management system. Its main goal is ease of use, both for developers and non-technical end users.

Babble CMS was heavily inspired by [Lektor](https://www.getlektor.com/)and [Kirby](https://getkirby.com/) in how stores content structure (models) and website content in text files on disk, rather than in an SQL database. This means that the whole website can be kept in a version control system like Git. It uses the Twig templating engine (similar to Lektor's Jinja2), and comes with a user friendly admin interface, including a file manager and image cropping functionality.

**This project is still in development, and is probably not ready for production use.**
