Winter CMS is an open-source content management system built on the PHP framework Laravel. Born as a community fork and fully free of OctoberCMS, it retains its elegant philosophy while ensuring open governance and active development under the MIT license. It is aimed at both agencies and developers, as well as companies seeking a solid and durable website.

Its modern and clean back office allows you to manage pages, content, and media with ease, while Twig themes offer a clear and maintainable template engine. A rich ecosystem of plugins, largely compatible with that of OctoberCMS, allows you to add features — forms, blog, e-commerce, multilingual — without starting from scratch.

Based on a PHP 8 and MySQL stack, Winter CMS benefits from the entire robustness of the Laravel ecosystem: security, performance, and extensibility. Self-hosted with DINAO, it gives you full control over your website and data, away from closed proprietary platforms, with HTTPS, backups, and monitoring included.
