Craft is a content-first CMS that aims to make life enjoyable for developers and content managers alike. It does so by offering developers a high level of flexibility, both in terms of content modeling and the front-end views, while also giving content managers an intuitive authoring experience.
We made Craft for bespoke websites and mobile applications, where strong control over branding and content types are a priority. We optimized it for creating experiences from scratch, rather than modifying existing themes.
Craft is a self-hosted PHP application built on Yii. You don’t need to know PHP or Yii to use it unless you intend to write your own plugins.
For more information on the technical requirements of Craft, see the Requirements section.
