Built into Total CMS

Minimal starter

Demo content: Juniper, live to try

One page, one layout and one stylesheet: the smallest Total CMS site, ready for your own design.

FreeAny edition

The Juniper page: the headline “Hello. This is your new site.”, a line about changing it in Site Builder, an Open Site Builder button and a panel of simple colored shapes.

Juniper is the smallest place to start: a single home page with a heading, a few lines, a picture and a button into Site Builder. It's for people who want to bring their own design and would rather not delete a demo site first.

Everything you need to grow it, from adding a page to adding a collection, is in the Getting Started page that comes with it.

Install it

It comes with Total CMS. This one command creates a new site with the Minimal starter already chosen; without TCMS_STARTER, the installer asks which starter you want. On a site you already have, run tcms builder:init minimal instead.

terminal

TCMS_STARTER=minimal composer create-project totalcms/totalcms mysite

Point your web server at mysite/public/ and visit the site. The setup wizard creates your admin account. On a Mac, Total CMS Studio does all of this without a terminal.
