Suggest a CMS without database

    I don't like databases. They are just making the sites slow and less secure. Also some hosting packages limits # of databases and charge more when you need more databases.

    In fact I like static sites. But 100% static sites are not really useful. They can be a nightmare for you when you need to change a small repetitive code (eg, analytics code)
    Because of that, sites have to be a little bit dynamic with "require" or "include" php codes. But still, databases are not really needed for a few dynamic feature.

    For me, search function, rss/atom feeds, pinging, ping backs, posting via email and similar wordpress/CMS features are completely unnecessary and even those functions should be removed immediately.

    If you know and used such a php script please share. It would be great if you know something mobile friendly. Thanks.

    Very few sites need more than one database - and a database can have a virtually unlimited number of tables and those tables can get really big. I reckon you should reexamine your reasons to take a mighty step backwards in terms of giving people the user experience they expect - then again, maybe they'll like the bare bones approach, only you know your market and your business strategy.
