The web is noisy. Whisper is quiet.

Whisper is a small site engine, ideal for people seeking to maintain static web content in a simple, straightforward, and convenient manner. It lets you manage your web site—whether it’s simple or sophisticated—without the fuss of complex tools or blog-centric bloatware. It is very clean and simple.

Whisper builds your site dynamically, generating it from templates with a small (but highly expandable) set of custom tags. The result is a clean, consistent site that’s easy to manage. Its control panel lets you modify your templates and stylesheet, create and edit pages, and more—all from any web browser. With support for Textile and the Layout Browser plugin, you can easily create standards-compliant sites without the need to know a single bit of HTML or CSS. Just add content.

Whisper is as flexible as it is simple. Your web pages can be generated as HTML, PHP, or any other type of file that you’d like. Whisper is lightweight and efficient, and does not require a MySQL database. It sports a simple yet powerful plugin system, allowing for endless customization and expansion. And it’s 100% free to everyone, and always will be.

Download Whisper and give it a try.

In addition to Whisper, the other content management systems (wu-wei, Wigwam, and Uncarved) developed by Adam Newbold are archived here as well.
