<body dir="ltr">Hi Nili,<br><br>I understand what you're looking for.<br>It was the same for me when I (re)started with OpenCms some years ago ...<br>Well, finally I started step-by-step with the very documentation you mentioned (linked) and can really encourage you to do so, too.<br>It helped me a lot and very efficiently to get me started with this great and very powerful CMS ...<br>AND by really working thru the instructions and therefore practicing "real work" (including beginner's mistakes and further doku lookup as needed) I got a good idea how it feels to _really_ work with it ... and detected more and more really well-designed and helpful features just "by accident".<br><br>Assuming that you're (a bit) familiar with the basic technologies (HTML/XML, CSS, JSP/Java) and what a CMS is, the first chapter<br><a href="https://documentation.opencms.org/opencms-documentation/creating-a-website/creating-a-template-jsp/">https://documentation.opencms.org/opencms-documentation/creating-a-website/creating-a-template-jsp/</a><br>should already be sufficient to help you to get a basic/simple site up and running.<br>How fast depends on your knowledge about the mentioned technologies ... based on a given (simple) layout as mentioned in "Before you start" it took me less than 1 hour to get the site working to add pages/content.<br><br>Hopefully I was able to encourage you to "take the dive" to explore this great Enterprise CMS.<br>IMHO it's well worth the "work".<br>If you're struggling ... don"t hesitate to ask.<br><br>Kind regards,<br>Gerd<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">Am 24.

I have installed OpenCMS v11.0.1 successfully, and all seems to be working well. I have become familiar with the Admin functionality (creating users, groups, etc.), and also browsed through the demo site.</div>

How can I create a very very simple basic website with just 2 or 3 plain HTML pages? Do not want the demo site or any fancy templates or modules or multi-lingual/localization stuff, etc.</div>
