Free open source CMS and framework with a flexible page tree
Updated
ProcessWire is a free and open source content management system and framework, available since 2010. It stores content in a hierarchical page tree with custom field types, offers a PHP API and hooks for developers, and includes built-in multi-language support and role-based access control for editors.
ProcessWire is used by developers, designers and agencies who want control over markup and content structure, and by editors who need straightforward content editing. It fits projects from small sites to very large ones, and the vendor cites a site with over 2 million pages.
ProcessWire core is free and open source, so there is no license fee. Optional commercial modules are sold through the ProcessWire Pro Shop, including Form Builder PRO and ProCache PRO, and hosting and development costs depend on your own setup.
Common alternatives to ProcessWire include WordPress, Drupal and Craft CMS. WordPress and Drupal are widely used open source CMS platforms, while Craft CMS is commercial. Compare developer experience, plugin ecosystems and hosting requirements.
