Bolt CMS is an open source, adaptable platform for building and running modern websites. Whether you are developer, frontend designer or content creator. Install the standard Bolt theme to get a nice solid base for your new website. Or get your hands dirty and create your own custom extensions in the PHP-based Symfony framework.
Bolt CMS came with tons of features :
- Symfony 5 extensions : There’s no limit to the functionality you can incorporate in your Bolt project. At its core, Bolt is a Symfony application, so you can use the tools provided by the framework.
- Twig templates : There’s a reason why Twig is the de-facto standard across the PHP community. It is flexible, fast and secure. Take a look how easy it is to generate the HTML for your pages.
- Built-in internationalisation : Need more languages? No problem, it’s just one line of code. The even cooler thing? With field-level control you can decide exactly which parts of the page will be translated.
- Out-of-the-box API : Bolt provides a RESTful and GraphQL API. No extra configuration needed. Use the CMS in headless mode, alongside a static site generator, or simply to feed data into whatever other platform.
- Dummy content : Dummy content. You need it to test, or to showcase your work to your clients. Putting it in there is tiresome, though. Good news: not anymore. All you need to do is use one single line of code.
- Best rich content editors : You get the best content editors: Article and Redactor. Fully licensed for use in Bolt itself. For free. With love. Because we believe creating and adapting content should be easy. Period.
Overall Bolt CMS is providing a great solution for everyone : Developers, Designers, and Editors. A combination very hard to realize, because you have to miss one of them, focusing on Developers and Designers will make you loose some great features for Editors, and that’s the intent of a content management system. I think Bolt should forget a little about developers and designers, and focus more on Editors and real users of content management systems.
The solution is very well documented, for different kind of users. Which mean you may find installation details for developers, templating details for designers, and a step by step user guide for endusers. Bolt CMS is released under an MIT license. for more information https://boltcms.io/
