## What it is
Bludit is a free, open-source flat-file CMS written in PHP for building websites and blogs in seconds. It stores content as JSON files, requiring no database—just a web server with PHP 8.0+—and supports Markdown, HTML, themes, and plugins.

## Use cases
- build a personal blog without a database
- self-host a simple website with PHP only
- flat-file CMS for cheap shared hosting
- create a blog with Markdown support
- lightweight alternative to WordPress
- publish a site with JSON file storage
- set up a GDPR-compliant privacy-first website

## When to choose
- you want a database-free CMS that runs on any PHP web host
- you need a simple, fast blog or small site with themes and plugins
- you prefer flat-file content storage and easy backups
- you want built-in SEO tools and privacy-first operation

## When to avoid
- you need multi-user workflows, relational data, or complex dynamic content
- you require a database-backed CMS with heavy querying
- you need enterprise features like granular roles or headless APIs at scale
