Typo3

Typo 3 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 Typo 3 Neos that is a version of Typo 3 that has been rewritten from scratch for better performance.
