# Total CMS

> Total CMS is a modern, flat-file content management system built with PHP. It uses JSON storage instead of a traditional database, Twig for templating, and provides a comprehensive REST API and admin dashboard.

Total CMS is designed for web designers and developers who want a powerful CMS without database complexity. Content is stored as JSON files, making it easy to version control, backup, and deploy. It runs on any PHP 8.2+ host with no database setup required.
