WinterCMS

Winter CMS is a free, open‑source content management system built on the Laravel PHP framework. It provides a development environment that supports rapid prototyping, a clean backend for managing HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and a plugin and theme architecture that can be extended through an online marketplace. The system emphasizes simplicity, performance and stability, aiming to work well for projects ranging from small brochure sites to larger commerce or application deployments.

The platform is targeted at developers, designers, agencies and freelancers who need a controllable, self‑hosted CMS without subscription fees. Its Laravel foundation and the in‑house Storm library help maintain a stable, backward‑compatible codebase, while full source‑code access allows users to audit security and customize functionality as required.

Winter CMS is distributed under the MIT license, offers a free tier with no subscription, and is maintained by a community of contributors supported by the Frostbyte Foundation. It is positioned as a secure, extensible framework that can be adopted by projects of any size or complexity.
