REDAXO

REDAXO is a PHP‑based content management system that runs on MySQL and can be self‑hosted without subscription fees. It offers a modular architecture where pages are built from custom blocks, allowing full control over input and output while supporting multilingual sites. The core provides a category‑based structure, a media pool for file storage, and an extensible add‑on system that can be tailored to both small websites and large, complex portals.

The system is designed for ease of use, with an installer that sets up a demo site in minutes and documentation available in several languages. Its open‑source MIT licence and active community—accessible via Slack, a community map, and public repositories—make it straightforward to get support, contribute code, or extend functionality with additional add‑ons.

Typical users include developers and editors who need a lightweight yet flexible CMS that can be customized to specific workflows, and organizations that prefer a free, self‑hosted solution with a collaborative ecosystem.
