Your content lives on disk as plain files, not rows in a database or records in a proprietary system. Create a Markdown file and you have a page. Edit it, refresh your browser, and it’s live.

If you're comfortable editing files, writing a little HTML, and checking documentation — or want a CMS that grows with you as you learn — Ava fits naturally into your workflow. ✨ Why Ava CMS? - 📝 Markdown & HTML — Write fast in Markdown, drop into HTML when you need total control. - ⚡ Instant feedback — No complicated build steps or deploy queue.
