Do you have a large website now using GetSimple? If so, can you tell us how many pages are in it?
I'm thinking of migrating my website to GetSimple but I'm wondering, as easy and as simple GetSimple cms is, how many files (i.e., pages) can it handle? For example, I've got about 100 php files, 20 audio files and a photo gallery of about 200 photos (which I can leave in its present format and simply include through php, if GS allows me to do that--which I assume it does).
Thanks for help.
My site, by the way, is at http://tinyurl.com/3mxts8g

On the front end side - the website for your visitors - there is basically no limit, unless you use a dynamic navigation menu - it's just reading a theme file and the page's xml file, including the xml content in the theme file and displaying it.
If you use a dynamic navigation that's caching the important information from the page files (like the I18N plugin). you will not have any problem either, even with a few 100 pages.
Photos and galleries shouldn't be a problem either - especially if you keep them as they are (in any case it's mostly the data transfer time for the pictures that is important). But there are some gallery plugins available, too.
If you need a search on your page, you can use the I18N Search plugin, which builds index files and should be quite fast.
On the back end side, the administration, you might encounter some delays when editing hundreds of pages - for the pages list all pages are read in and displayed; when editing, all pages are read again do display the navigation structure. And of course the pages list will be quite long - but can easily be filtered.
Resume: I don't think you will have any problems with your site.
