Sveltia CMS is a lightweight, Git-based headless content management system for Jamstack websites. It provides editors with a browser-based interface for managing content stored in a Git repository, without requiring a conventional database or application server.
The software is a modern rewrite of Netlify CMS, now known as Decap CMS. It maintains broad compatibility with existing installations while offering improved performance, internationalisation, mobile support and a more modern user experience. Sveltia CMS is framework-agnostic and works with static site generators such as Astro, Eleventy and Hugo, as well as sites built with vanilla JavaScript.
This is free and open source software.
