BANCHA - Open-source CMS

NOTE: as you might have guessed after 4 years of inactivity, this project is no longer maintain although can still be used with virtually no issues.

BANCHA is a Content Management System made with PHP5 and Code Igniter, a light and powerful PHP framework. It is capable to manage any kind of project/website, specially when it have many different types of contents.

BANCHA bases its power on some pillars that make it different from other CMS: It allows you to handle any type of content: pages, news, photo galleries, products, etc ... through XML or YAML schemes. In 10 minutes, you can configure a website to manage, list and view any kind of thing you want.

  • It doesn't sacrifice the performance of a static site, because under the hood it uses many different caching systems.
  • It's modular, so it can be extended with different types of modules that you can develop yourself.
  • It's totally open-source (you can download the source from http://getbancha.com).
  • It's easy to install and to maintain. It doesnt't need any complicated or advanced infrastructure: just PHP5, some extensions and a DB server.
  • It totally separates the application framework (MVC) from the website themes, so it's easy to use for web developers as well as web designers.
  • It use a wonderful ORM system to "play" with the database objects without the needs to write a single query.
