Kirby 3.0 - The file-based content management sytem

I follow Kirby since version 1 and every version is a major update over the previous one. The Version 2 was great but the panel had a little something missing in term of usability. The Version 3 solve it and made that CMS an even more indispensable tool. Try it! You'l love it!

Best completely free Open Source alternative: ProcessWire. Amazing community, awesome cms like Kirby, also totally flexible and very easily customizable, a devs dream and also easy enough for designers to use! Super easy for content editors

I used both Kirby v2 and Laravel for more than 4 years now and both have their usecases. Kirby 3 is a modern and flexible CMS with a solid codebase.

Pros:

Filebased CMS with pretty and customizable Backend? Plugins? Can do headless and database as well? I just love it.

Cons:

The online docs might need some polish but otherwise i think the overall experience is very good.

I am using Kirby since the very start and never looked back. So far I have built around 50 websites with it, the last three with version 3 already. So I may be biased a bit, since I never really worked with any other CMS in the past five or so years. But not finding a reason to try something else is something, right?

Pros:

- endless flexibility - so much fun to work with - superb documentation and support - awesome team (and funny as well) - awesome community

Cons:

- I honestly can't find any relevant shortcomings. Period.

This is my go to CMS for most client work because the panel is extremely easy to use and can be crafted in almost anyway imaginable. Very happy to have been part of the development process for Kirby 3.

Pros:

- Stupidly fast - Easy to learn - No database - Extremely flexible - Amazing Community

Cons:

- There are no cons at all really :)

Besides making a great CMS, Bastian and his team are all about an open web and community.

Pros:

- Flexible - panel is awesome - great documentation - lightweight - great starter kits - awesome community - a lot of plugins and themes

Cons:

- all the possibilites could be overwhelming in the beginning > but there are tons of tutorials to start with

It’s my favorite CMS

Pros:

Wildly flexible

Cons:

Nothing

Kirby is a wonderful piece of software (art). Very simple, very flexible - I wouldn't miss it for the world and cannot recommend it enough!

Pros:

- simple and lightweight - very flexible - clean & transparent architecture

Cons:

I haven't seen anything better than Kirby so far!

I'm using Kirby from V1 and can't wait to start a new project with V3. Great Work Bastian and team!

Pros:

I absolutely love how fast my sites are and how Kirby manages the Workflow with the content, templates and code. The new customizable Panel.

Cons:

I'll wait for new plugins :)

I've used Kirby 2 for numerous projects in the last years and am building a Kirby 3 site currently. I love the flexibility and simplicity of Kirby 3 and the docs and community help me a lot to find my way around.

Pros:

- Simple and flexible backend - Control over the code it produces - Fast - Simple development because of file storage

Cons:

- PHP Skills required
