The starting point of your new website
Open source
Easy content creation
Simple development
It's all in the details
Symfony 5 extensions
There’s no limit to the functionality you can incorporate in your Bolt project. At its core, Bolt is a Symfony application, so you can use the tools provided by the framework.
Twig templates
There's a reason why Twig is the de-facto standard across the PHP community. It is flexible, fast and secure. Take a look how easy it is to generate the HTML for your pages.
Built-in internationalisation
Need more languages? No problem, it's just one line of code. The even cooler thing? With field-level control you can decide exactly which parts of the page will be translated.
Out-of-the-box API
Bolt provides a RESTful and GraphQL API. No extra configuration needed. Use the CMS in headless mode, alongside a static site generator, or simply to feed data into whatever other platform.
Dummy content
Dummy content. You need it to test, or to showcase your work to your clients. Putting it in there is tiresome, though. Good news: not anymore. All you need to do is use one single line of code.
Best rich content editors
You get the best content editors: Article and Redactor. Fully licensed for use in Bolt itself. For free. With love. Because we believe creating and adapting content should be easy. Period.

I spent a few hours yesterday and today building a new hobby site with @BoltCMS and wow, the new version is FANTASTIC. It's so easy to get a site up and running. I'm really loving this.

In the past I've looked at differenct CMS:s and tried my hands at WordPress. But being such a fan of #Symfony I fell into the embrace of @BoltCMS this week.
It's a CMS and a Symfony application! 💜
This week I've tried out multi-lang and extensions and am enamoured.
