Why use a micro CMS?
la.plume micro CMS is simple to use and should appeal to non-tech users who simply want to publish clean uncluttered web pages without installing a large complex platform like WordPress or Drupal with features you will never need. With this micro-CMS installed, your website can be developed and managed with ease from any computer with a web connection. You don't need to be expert in HTML but if you like to dabble, HTML markup can be manually added to enhance the pages with sub-headings, hyperlinks, images, tables, lists, and emphasized text. Plus you can play with the stylesheet to change its look.
la.plume?
It's featherweight and "feather" in French is "plume", like pen.
