Features? Not many, but we've got a few...


Pretty URLs

Create search engine friendly URLs out of the box with tailorable post 'slugs' and quick validation on new articles and pages.

Web-based admin

Simple online admin area for content management of pages, articles and sections.

Simple structure

Nothing over the top just a simple page / article / section structure to give you some flexibility.

Multiple templates

Support for multiple layout templates with a cracking default theme built on the Twitter Bootstrap framework.


Template helpers

Tons of pre-built helpers to call from directly within your own templates - anything you can see in the default theme you can create with helpers!

Template help

The admin pages are full of template help information - all the helpers and code snippets you'll need are listed here.

Multi-site support

The simple TBL_PRE config option lets you run multiple sites from the same, shared database - great!

Custom properties

Tag articles with a string of custom data that you can then read and interpret in your templates using PHP. Nothing fancy, just something simple.


Built as a personal project to help kickstart website projects, this framework is offered with no warranty what-so-ever.
Do with it as you wish, just bear in mind that it isn't intended to be all powerful and it certainly isn't professionally coded.
There's tons of stuff bundled in there, including the Twitter Bootstrap, and full credits are available in the readme file.
