Simple. Fast. Flat.

Edit Text Files
Baun makes creating and maintaining a website as simple as editing text files with your favorite text editor.

Light & Fast
Baun was designed with performance in mind. The lightweight codebase and no database makes Baun blazing fast.

No Database
Baun is designed as a “flat file” CMS, meaning there is no database and you can completely forget about MySQL.

Markdown Formatting
Use your favourite text editor to edit your pages and create your website using simple Markdown formatting.

Twig Templates
Baun uses the Twig templating engine, for powerful and flexible themes. This site is an example of a Baun theme.

Open & Extendable
Baun is open source and has a very modular architecture, great for developers who like to hack things up.
