CMSkerfa

CMSkerfa is an open-source content management system designed for building and managing websites and digital content. It emphasizes modularity, developer friendliness, and a flexible architecture that supports rapid extension through plugins and themes. The project is written primarily in PHP and uses a relational database backend, with optional support for MySQL and PostgreSQL.

Its core provides a modular plugin system, a templating layer, and a content model suited for pages, posts, media, and taxonomies. It includes a built-in page builder, media library, and SEO tools, plus multi-language support and role-based access control. A REST API, and in some configurations GraphQL endpoints, enable headless usage and integration with external applications. Caching and security features such as CSRF protection and input sanitization are included, along with an accessible admin interface and responsive themes.

CMSkerfa uses a modular core with independently developed modules, allowing developers to add functionality without altering the core. It provides a templating engine and theme system similar to popular frameworks; a plugin marketplace and documentation help foster an ecosystem. The project is distributed under an open-source license (MIT) and is maintained by a community of volunteers and corporate contributors, with source code hosted on a public repository.

Since its initial release in the mid-2010s, CMSkerfa has been adopted by small to mid-sized organizations for sites requiring rapid customization. The project maintains an active release cycle, with ongoing improvements to performance, accessibility, and security. Documentation and community support are available through forums, issue trackers, and tutorials.
