I'm looking for a good micro CMS to use for a small business site. So far Perch looks like it will suit my needs very well, but I'm interested to hear what other solutions people have experience with. I am not looking for suggestions like Wordpress or Drupal. Instead, I'd like a solution that can be added to existing static pages to make them easily editable for non web development savvy users.

Edit: I'm specifically looking for a CMS that can be easily used within a page, but doesn't have to be used for the entire page or entire site.

Good idea. I've wandered over there a time or two, but frankly the design (IMO) and functionality don't hold a candle to the SOFU family of sites (ironic, given the focus of that site). Guess it's worth it for this question though. – tnorthcutt Sep 7 '09 at 22:18
Oops thought I'd delete my own suggestion and take a look myself. Still, posting on doctype would double the answers you get. – kez Sep 7 '09 at 22:23

I'm actually working on a PHP-coded CMS right now... The goal is to make it similar to sNewsCMS, although more light-weight (less SQL queries), more secure, and more customization. And of course, a nice templating engine allowing you to customize basically anything - just say where you want the content, and it goes... Let me know if you would like me to let you know when it is nearing a release. – Breakthrough Sep 8 '09 at 10:51

There is a similar discussion on doctype.com titled Which CMS is best for website designing? Looks like a couple of good suggestions there such as CushyCMS

Cushy does look like a decent solution. The only thing I don't like is that it's a hosted solution. Not bad for free, though. – tnorthcutt Sep 8 '09 at 1:17

If you are able to use Django, check out django-chunk.

Think of it as flatpages for small bits of reusable content you might want to insert into your templates and manage from the admin interface.

Why would anyone want this?

Well it essentially allows someone to define "chunks" (I had wanted to call it blocks, but that would be very confusing for obvious reasons) of content in your template that can be directly edited from the awesome Django admin interface. Throwing a rich text editor control on top of it make it even easier.

Looks interesting. What's the best way to learn how to use this? Would studying the regular django documentation work? – tnorthcutt Sep 8 '09 at 1:23
