Phire CMS – a feature-rich, open source CMS that you can easily use to run any type of website, from a simple blog to a full-fledged website. Built on the ever-popular MySQL/PHP platform, the CMS installs and runs on a wide variety of server stacks. All of the standard features you would expect are built into the CMS, plus many more.
The Phire CMS project started in 2009 by developer Nick Sagona and was born out of a collection of custom-built content management systems that had been developed by Nick to meet specific client needs. The project started under the code name Phoenix, but was changed to Phire before the official release
