FlatPress is my new favorite CMS. It offers almost everything I value in a content management system. It doesn't require a database; content is stored in simple text files. It installs in a minute. The control panel has a logical layout that is understandable at a glance. Everything makes sense, including the way to create categories and manage the menu. Several nice themes are available, but even more important, they're easy to modify even if you're just moderately familiar with HTML.
FlatPress apparently was originally publicized as a blogging tool. But it includes the option to create static pages like a CMS. And with one click, it can make any static page the home page. If you prefer, you can also make the core blog appear as the home page. It's great for either use!
A new version is about to be released - what looks to be the beta became available in April 2008, and it includes very nice improvements. It now includes a drag-and-drop interface for arranging various components on the page.
If you need statistics, just add Google Analytics to the footer template.
All in all, a great content management system. I love it!
