Typo3

Typo3 is an open source Content Management System for the web implemented in the PHP scripting language and suitable for both small installations and institutional users and is less resource hungry than most other PHP based CMS's, while being much easier to set up than the Perl based ones. There is an alternative called Typo3 Neos that is a version of Typo3 that has been rewritten from scratch for better performance.

TypoScript

Simple template language that can be used with the package and learning the basics of it is pretty much a requirement for any advanced use of the package.
