Bolt is a lightweight, open-source content management system (CMS) written in PHP, built on Silex and Symfony components with Twig templating. This repository hosts the legacy Bolt 3 codebase; newer versions (Bolt 5) live in a separate bolt/core repository.
Use cases
- build a simple website with a lightweight cms
- self-host a content management system in php
- manage blog or marketing site content without wordpress
- create html5 sites with twig templates
- set up a cms backed by sqlite, mysql, or postgresql
When to choose
- you want a simple, easy-to-configure PHP CMS for small-to-medium sites
- you prefer Symfony/Twig-based templating over WordPress
- you need a CMS that runs on SQLite without a dedicated database server
When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - use Bolt 5 (bolt/core) instead
- you need a headless or API-first CMS
- you require long-term support for this legacy Bolt 3 codebase
