Git-based headless CMS, made right. Simple, modern, powerful, open source: best free CMS for SMBs, nonprofits and developers.
Sveltia CMS is a free, open-source, Git-based headless CMS designed as a direct replacement and successor to Netlify CMS and Decap CMS. Built with Svelte, it connects directly to Git providers like GitHub to provide a modern, graphical content editing experience for Jamstack websites.
The main features of this platform include:
Maintenance-Free Architecture: Operates without a database, dedicated server, or build tools, relying on a Git workflow, a YAML configuration file, and a CDN-served application.
Modern & Responsive UI: Provides a user-friendly interface with dark mode, keyboard shortcuts, mobile responsiveness, entry reordering, and fine-grained Personal Access Tokens (PATs) for authentication.
Digital Asset & I18n Management: Features a complete asset library with external media and stock photo integrations, alongside built-in multilingual content management and one-click AI-powered translation.
Framework-Agnostic Compatibility: Integrates seamlessly with static site generators and frameworks such as Astro, Eleventy, Hugo, Next.js, Jekyll, or vanilla JavaScript.
WYSIWYG Graphical Editing: Enables content administrators to update Markdown or HTML sites via a graphical editor without requiring HTML knowledge.
Reimagined Developer Experience: Features comprehensive documentation, JSON schema support, a TypeScript-enabled API, local workflow options, and AI support.
