## What it is
Stacey is a lightweight PHP-based flat-file CMS that generates websites from YAML content files, images, and directory structure using Twig templates. It requires no database and runs by simply copying files to a PHP-capable server.

## Use cases
- build a simple portfolio site without a database
- generate a website from yaml content files
- host a lightweight cms on shared php hosting
- create a small site with twig templates
- manage content by editing files instead of a database

## When to choose
- you want a no-database, file-based website on cheap PHP hosting
- you prefer editing YAML files and folder structure over an admin UI
- you need a tiny, simple portfolio or brochure site

## When to avoid
- you need active maintenance, security updates, or modern PHP support
- you want a database-backed CMS with an admin dashboard
- you need a fully static output rather than a dynamic PHP site

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: static-site-generator, templating, markdown
- domain: web-development, cms
- platform: php, self-hosted
- tags: no-database, yaml-content, twig-templates, flat-file-cms, web-server
