What is Craft CMS?
Craft CMS is a content management system built by Pixel & Tonic that gives developers control over content modeling instead of forcing content into fixed templates. It uses Twig for templating and includes a built-in GraphQL API, so teams can run Craft as a traditional website backend or as a headless content source. Craft supports multi-site setups, granular user permissions, and an optional Craft Commerce plugin for ecommerce.
The product is self-hosted by default, with a free Solo license for single-user projects and paid Team and Pro licenses for larger teams, or free hosting through Craft Cloud. Craft has an active plugin marketplace and community on Discord and Stack Exchange, and is commonly chosen by agencies and freelance developers for marketing sites and design-led projects.
