# Sveltia CMS

[Sveltia CMS](https://sveltiacms.app/en/) is a free, open-source, Git-based headless content management system for [Jamstack](https://jamstack.org/) sites. It’s a complete rewrite of Netlify CMS, now known as Decap CMS.

Designed for content editors and developers alike, Sveltia CMS delivers a modern UX/DX, powerful features, and first-class internationalization (i18n) support — all in a small, maintenance-free, single-page web application served from a CDN. Its generic-purpose approach makes it suitable for a wide range of projects, from personal blogs and portfolios to marketing sites and knowledge bases.

As the de facto [successor to Netlify CMS](https://sveltiacms.app/en/docs/successor-to-netlify-cms), Sveltia CMS addresses 300+ issues and introduces numerous enhancements while maintaining high compatibility with existing installations. It far surpasses the neglected official successor, Decap CMS. More and more projects, including a U.S. government website, are [switching from Netlify/Decap CMS](https://sveltiacms.app/en/docs/migration/netlify-decap-cms) to Sveltia CMS to enjoy its significantly improved performance, security, reliability, and experience.

Sveltia CMS is framework-agnostic and can also be used for vanilla JavaScript sites. It’s a great choice for people leaving a traditional CMS or website builder and looking for a lightweight headless CMS that seamlessly integrates with a static site generator (SSG), such as Astro, Eleventy, and Hugo.

Explore 280+ real-world examples in our [showcase](https://sveltiacms.app/en/showcase), including 105+ sites migrated from Netlify/Decap CMS and 45+ from WordPress, or visit the [documentation](https://sveltiacms.app/en/docs) to get started.
