    Automad is a flat-file content
    management system and
    template engine

    Get Started
    • The elegant dashboard including the block editor and the in-page edit mode provide a convenient and intuitive way of editing pages

    • No database is required — all content is stored in human readable text files which makes it easy to put a whole site under version control

    • While being file based, database features like searching and tagging are still a fundamental feature and directly implemented in the core

    • An advanced multi-layer caching engine makes a site super fast — even on limited hardware

    • The flexible and secure template engine also let's inexperienced designers create beautiful themes

    • The headless mode turns Automad into a CMS that makes content accessible via a read-only JSON API

    • Thank you to all sponsors — your support is much appreciated ♥

    • Automad is free to use and open-source. And thanks to your donations it can stay that way and further development can be maintained.

    • Blocks

      Blocks are little pieces of content like a text paragraph, a header, a gallery, a slideshow or many others.

      The block editor provides an intuitive editing experience and enables editors to freely compose a post from several blocks.

      Using Blocks

    • In-Page Editing

      Edit your pages directly while browsing your website. The In-Page Edit Mode is active as soon as you get logged in.

    • Headless Mode

      Activating the headless mode turns Automad into a CMS without a presentation layer that focuses entirely on content creation.

      While the Dashboard can still be used to manage content, all data and files are made accessible via a read-only JSON API.

      Build Your own API

    • Behind The Scenes

      Automad’s template interpreter is written in pure PHP and processes templates on the fly. No extra build process is required. The list of system requirements is also rather short. A web server with is enough to run a site.

      A multi-layer caching engine ensures that a site is rendered super fast even on limited hardware.

      About the System

    • Template Engine

      Create your own professional templates using Automad's flexible template language without the need of PHP. And in case you are missing any advanced feature, it can be easily implemented as a PHP extension.

      You can also use the Theme Skeleton tutorial package to get started quickly with your own custom theme.
