Perch is a small CMS that you download and install on your own server. This means you stay in complete control and aren’t dependent on any third-party services. The interface can be branded with colours and a logo to help make integration seamless.

On the technical side, Perch uses PHP5 and MySQL which most common hosting plans have. It will run on both Unix-type web servers and Windows. It’s easy to get running on a development machine using XAMPP on Windows or something like MAMP on a Mac, so it shouldn’t be a problem developing with it before you go live.

Live Demo

If you’d like to try the editing experience for yourself, we have a live demo available.
