bare-site is a PHP micro-framework for static content websites. No database. No Composer. No ORM. No build step. Just files on disk.

It was built from 8 years of production use across company websites, enterprise identity-verification demos, and multi-language brochure sites. The core router is 80 lines. The entire framework — routing, bot detection, rate limiting, geo-location, Telegram notifications, structured logging, and session management — fits in 3 class files.

What it's for

• Company brochure sites with multiple languages
• API-integration demos that need zero infrastructure
• Documentation portals or static content delivery
• Anything that doesn't need a database

What it's NOT

• A WordPress alternative (no admin panel, no users, no plugins)
• A headless CMS (no API, no content editing interface)
• A Laravel competitor (no ORM, no migrations, no queues)

Philosophy: You don't need a hammer drill to punch a hole in cardboard. Most websites are cardboard. Use the right tool.
