Hello,

I'm looking for a CMS system that works similar to CushyCMS, but that I can install on my own server?

I love the functionality and ease of use CushyCMS provides for simple, small sites where setting up and installing a traditional CMS (Drupal, Wordpress, TYPO3) are not necessary.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks! Troy

If you're looking to write some of your own code/html it might be worth looking at django-cms

Thanks CdsBoy... But, again, same problem... I could just install wordpress or drupal, but I really don't want to go to that extent for a simple, 5 page site.

Well, I don't know of any yet, but if you want an alternative online service then check out Surreal CMS. You can also try out Simple CMS, but it's still very new (released into beta a day or two ago).

Thanks... I've checked out Surreal and Simple prior and both have the same problem... they're SaaS. I'm looking for something with identical functionality (where I can modify html pages simply by adding a class) but that I can install on one of my own servers.

You can now use this Cuhsy-clone : http://www.mechedit.com I did'nt try it but plan to do. If you test it, give us a review !

Perch is an excellent lightweight CMS.

Orbis CMS is an open source alternative to CMSs like CushyCMS. It's built on the same priciples (simplicity, ease-of-use) and features a stylish interface, but is self-hosted and free.

A: 

You should look at Zimplit!

SnippetMaster is pretty cool. It's too bad that it's not open-source and free, but at least it has generous and inexpensive licensing schemes (normal, re-brandable, etc.)

It would be nice if it used class names for the content regions, but it uses HTML comments formatted a special way (like IE conditionals) so it's still valid html.

Unify does this very nicely unify.unitinteractive.com it costs $24.49 per domain, simply upload the unify folder to your webspace and add class="unify" to the areas in the html you want editable.
