Textpattern - a neat CMS alternative

October 29th, 2007 | Web Design | Tags: , ,

I don’t know why I only looked at Textpattern now but it surely looks nice for smaller sites that I set up for friends. I used to do everything with TYPO3 but had a hard time trimming it down for simple use cases with only a couple of pages and no dynamic stuff. Textpattern has a very intuitive templating system and comes with all the categorization and syndication features you might want for a start. The admin interface is ugly but so is TYPO3’s. And Textile is better than HTMLArea although not as cool as Markdown. I’ll give TXP a try for the next project.
