A CMS that fits the website you already have

Clipon is designed for developers, agencies, and site owners who need editable content without moving the whole project into WordPress or another heavy platform. Keep the design, keep the markup, and make only the right parts editable.

Works on top of existing HTML/PHP

No theme rebuild, template migration, or database setup required.

Flat-file by design

Content lives in files for easier deploys, backups, and version control.

Inline editing for users

Users edit the page where they see the content, which keeps handoff simple after launch.

Posts, tags, thumbnails, excerpts, pagination, and blog loops in your frontend. Markdown support included.

SEO-ready out of the box

Clean URLs, meta titles, redirects, sitemap data, and route mapping.

Questions before you wire it in?

Short answers for developers deciding if Clipon fits an existing project.

Do I need to rebuild my website?<br>No. Clipon is designed to sit on top of an existing HTML or PHP website. You mark the editable parts and keep the current frontend.

Does Clipon require MySQL?<br>No. Core content is stored in protected flat files, so simple sites can stay lightweight and easy to deploy.

Can clients edit content inline?<br>Yes. Editors can update marked content where it appears on the page, which makes handoff simpler after launch.

What is included in Core?<br>Core includes inline editing, flat-file content, page management, blog basics, SEO fields, redirects, sitemap data, media uploads, and basic analytics.

When should I use Pro?<br>Use Pro when a project needs multilingual content, advanced analytics, roles and permissions, version history, premium modules, or priority support.

Will it work on shared PHP hosting?<br>Yes, the core workflow is built for regular PHP hosting. You upload the CMS folder, mark editable blocks, and hand over the admin panel.
