What is BuhoCMS?

BuhoCMS is a local Content Management System for static site generators (list of supported SSGs).

See BuhoCMS as a GUI for static site generators. Easily create or open a website, choose your theme and add your first posts. With BuhoCMS, adding and editing content is as easy as a few clicks. No more terminal commands, folder hunting or manual Front matter edits 🥳

Who is BuhoCMS for?

BuhoCMS is made for… you 😃
