Welcome to the home of Fast Edit !

  ... An "edit in place" tool with extended CMS capabilities

Fast Edit is a free and easy, WYSIWYG, HTML content editor that loads directly on the web pages you want to edit.

Fast Edit is also a Content Management System (CMS) where you can manage files, create and delete pages, make and restore backups, and decide what to display in the automatic menu. And all via a one-click interface!

Best suited to small or medium sized websites, Fast Edit uses flat (text) files to store information so if you don't have access to a MySQL (or similar) database, no problem; Fast Edit could be just the software for you!
