Craft CMS is a flexible, self-hosted PHP content management system for building bespoke digital experiences, with a clean-slate content model, Twig templating, and an auto-generated GraphQL API for headless use. It includes an admin control panel, multi-site localization, asset management, and a plugin ecosystem, with an optional ecommerce platform (Craft Commerce).
Use cases
- build a custom marketing site with flexible content modeling
- run a headless CMS with a GraphQL API for a Next.js or Nuxt frontend
- manage multi-site, multilingual content from one control panel
- build a bespoke ecommerce store with Craft Commerce
- give non-technical editors a friendly authoring experience with live preview
- self-host a CMS on PHP with MySQL or PostgreSQL
When to choose
- you need fully custom content structures rather than predefined page/post models
- you want Twig templating or a decoupled headless setup with GraphQL
- you need strong localization and multi-site support out of the box
- you want a polished admin experience for content editors
- you're comfortable self-hosting a PHP application
When to avoid
- you need a fully free open-source solution for team or commercial use (paid licenses for Team/Pro)
- you want a turnkey blog with themes rather than building templates yourself
- your stack is Node, Python, or Ruby rather than PHP
- you need managed hosting without opting for Craft Cloud or similar
