Serve
Serve is a lightweight easy to use online content and website management system.
Serve was inspired by WordPress. I really like WordPress and I think its extremely powerful for it was designed for, which is blogging but I really wanted something that I allowed me to manage my own site in terms of pages rather than posts.
Serve is written in PHP and is backed by a MySQL database.
Please note that Serve is no longer being actively developed and although it is currently stable, it most likely contains many bugs. It is advised that Serve only be used or deployed if you're looking to developing a custom content management system where Serve would act as a basis for development or in the management of relatively small sites. If you're looking for something that would scale to accommodate a large site as well as provide many more features, then I would recommend WordPress as its considered very stable with a very active development team and has a very large following where help and support is readily available.
