About Textpattern

Textpattern is a PHP and MySQL content management system that has been developed by its community for over 23 years. Sites are built with a tag-based template language, and the core keeps HTML output free of extra script dependencies.

The core is kept lean and can be extended with hundreds of community plugins. The admin interface is browser-based, aims to be accessible and is translated into over 50 languages. It suits people who want a small, template-driven CMS for blogs and websites.
