Baun is a modern, lightweight, extensible CMS for PHP. Inspired by my last CMS Pico, Baun has been desgined from the ground up as a modern PHP application whilst retaining the same features that made Pico so popular:
- Simple - Baun makes creating and maintaining a website as simple as editing text files
- Fast - Designed with performance in mind, and no database, making Baun blazing fast
- Flat - Baun is designed as a "flat file" CMS, meaning you can completely forget about MySQL
- Markdown - Edit your website in your favourite text editor using simple Markdown formatting
- Twig - Baun uses the Twig templating engine, for powerful and flexible templates
- Open Source - Baun is completely free and open source, released under the MIT license
Documentation for Baun can be found on the Baun website.
The Framework for Baun is kept in a separate repo. Check out the Framework if you want to contribute to the core.
The bauncms.com site is built using Baun.

Baun was originally created by Gilbert Pellegrom and is currently maintained by Mark Southard. Released under the MIT license.
This is my fork from the original Baun CMS. I have added things that I find useful. In addition, I have also forked the admin plugin and made a number of changes there as well - Baun Admin KRKeegan Fork. These two repositories features overlap a bit.
Some additions that I have made:
- Enable uploading of images from the admin plugin.
- Enable HTML formatted blog excerpts as supported by my Framework Fork
