Meet Z-CMS
An open, flexible CMS, ready for the next generation of websites.
No theme limits
An independent Theme Engine to build, install, customise and share themes the way you already expect.
Extend with plugins
A Plugin SDK, a permission model and a marketplace let you extend Z-CMS safely, without patching the core.
Enterprise ready
Multi-tenancy, RBAC, audit logs, caching, job queues and a cloud-native deployment story.
Powerful from day one
Everything you need to publish better.
One platform to manage content, design the site and extend what it can do — without locking you into a single theme or a single vendor.
Block Page Builder
Compose pages from blocks, store the structure as data, and render it fast on every device.
Theme Engine
Templates, layouts, block styles and a settings schema, packaged as an independent, signed theme.
Plugin SDK
Extend content types, APIs, admin screens, background jobs and front-end blocks through one standard SDK.
Headless API
Use Z-CMS as the content backend for a website, a mobile app, a kiosk or a SaaS product.
Developer Experience
TypeScript end to end, a CLI, local development, hot reload and a package-based architecture.
Secure by default
Signed packages, a sandboxed plugin runtime, row-level tenant isolation and a strict content security policy.
Explore the ecosystem
Start with a beautiful theme.
Themes and plugins built by Z-SOFT and the community, every one of them signed and verified. Install them straight from the CMS admin.

Made for developers
Extend with code. Keep the core intact.
A standard SDK lets you build themes and plugins as separate packages, test them on their own, and ship them through the Marketplace.

Software gets better when we build it together.
Z-CMS is an open-source project for the developers, designers, content creators and businesses who want to own their platform.
