About Bolt

Bolt is a tool for Content Management, which strives to be as simple and straightforward as possible. It is quick to set up, easy to configure, uses elegant templates, and above all: It’s a joy to use. Bolt is created using modern open source libraries, and is best suited to build sites in HTML5 with modern markup.

From a technical perspective: Bolt is written in PHP, and uses either SQLite, MySQL or PostgreSQL as a database. It's built upon the Silex framework together with a number of Symfony components and other libraries. Bolt is released under the open source MIT-license.

Who needs Bolt?

We've created Bolt for developers who need a tool to create websites in an easy and straightforward way, while at the same time it should be pleasant to use for content-editors, without getting in the way at any time. To be more specific:

Front-end designers and developers who like to write clean markup, and who want to build websites where the CMS doesn’t dictate what the templates or website should look like.
Developers who need a system that’s easy to set up and configure, that’s easy to manage and maintain, but is also flexible and versatile.
End users (read ‘editors’) that want to focus on producing and editing content, and not on clicking buttons in the CMS.

Docs & Support

Bolt comes with thorough online documentation for developers, and soon there will also be an extensive user manual for endusers. For support question we've set up a forum, while Issues and bugs can be posted on our Github Issue tracker. If you'd like to help develop Bolt, just fork it and code along.
