A light, fast, custom CMS with no database. Few developers offer it, yet it is a little gem.
Kirby is a flat-file CMS. No MySQL, no WordPress, no extra layers. Just structured text files, a clean back office and a readable template system. The result: ultra-fast sites that are easy to deploy and fully custom.
It is my choice for projects that want a lean, fast and durable site. And if your organisation cares about its digital footprint, it is the most consistent tool.
You want a light site that loads in a fraction of a second
Search rankings matter to you, and Google rewards fast, clean sites
You want a super simple admin you can pick up in minutes
You want a site that runs for years without heavy upkeep
No database, few dependencies, very light pages. Each visit uses fewer server resources.
With no SQL query to run, pages are served in a few milliseconds. Core Web Vitals in the green, out of the box.
No database to attack and very few entry points. Waves of automated hacking target mass-market CMSs, not Kirby.
An interface that shows only your content, nothing else. Editing your site becomes a pleasure rather than a chore.
The essentials are built in. I only add a few hand-picked plugins, for SEO or redirect tracking.
Every field is defined precisely. The back office reflects exactly your content structure, nothing more.
WordPress is excellent for most projects, and I often recommend it. Kirby shines when lightness is the goal. No database, pages served in a few milliseconds, less maintenance and a smaller attack surface. And if eco-design matters to you, it is the most consistent choice.
Kirby needs very little. Simple hosting is enough, with no database or special configuration, which also keeps the bill down. I work in partnership with Infomaniak in Switzerland and Combell in Belgium, and my maintenance & hosting plans can take care of everything.
Kirby generates light, fast pages, exactly what Google rewards. Clean HTML structure, structured data, sitemap, carefully written titles and descriptions. Accessibility is handled at the same time, semantic markup, contrast, keyboard navigation. Everything is in place at delivery.
As with a custom WordPress site, it all depends on the scope. On top of that comes the Kirby licence, a one-off 99 €, no subscription. You get a precise quote after a first chat, no strings attached.
Your content is readable text files, with no proprietary lock. Any PHP dev can take over. The files are versionable on Git, so the whole history is kept.
