Craft CMS<\/a><\/p>\nHistory<\/h2>\n
Craft CMS was developed by Pixel & Tonic and launched in 2013. It was designed to give developers and designers full control over website structure and content modeling, prioritizing a flexible architecture and user-friendly control panel.<\/p>\n
Requirements<\/h2>\n
Craft requires PHP 8+, a web server, and a MySQL or PostgreSQL database. Composer is used to manage dependencies, making it ideal for developers familiar with modern PHP workflows.<\/p>\n
Hosted \/ Self-hosted<\/h2>\n
Craft CMS is generally self-hosted, but Pixel & Tonic also offers first-party hosting options for professional users through Craft Cloud.<\/p>\n
Cost<\/h2>\n
Craft offers a free developer license and paid commercial licenses starting around $99 per project, depending on features and support level.<\/p>\n
