Welcome

Grav is a Fast, Simple, and Flexible, file-based Web-platform. There is Zero installation required. Just extract the ZIP archive, and you are already up and running. It follows similar principles to other flat-file CMS platforms, but has a different design philosophy than most. Grav comes with a powerful Package Management System to allow for simple installation and upgrading of plugins and themes, as well as simple updating of Grav itself.

The name Grav is just a shortened version of the word Gravity. The shared namespace of our platform and a movie starring Sandra Bullock is pure coincidence! More importantly, gravity is also a fundamental physical principle that describes the forces of attraction between objects. Frankly, the name was chosen as a temporary "codename" for the project, and it just stuck.

Features

Flat-File CMS

Grav is a fast, simple and flexible file-based web platform. No installation required. Just extract the ZIP file and you're up and running. Although Grav follows similar principles to other flat file CMS platforms, it has a different design philosophy than most.

Minimum requirements

You can easily run Grav on your local computer, as well as on 99% of all web hosts. These are the Grav system requirements:
Web server (Apache, Nginx, LiteSpeed, Lightly, IIS, etc.) and PHP 7.3.6 or higher.
That's all!

Support

Grav has extensive documentation, yes, in English, but very detailed, which will allow anyone with minimal knowledge of web programming to start designing web pages with Grav.

About me

Who am I?

My name is Pedro, I am Spanish and I discovered Grav CMS back in 2020. I like to learn and play with CMS to create simple websites. When I discovered Grav, I thought it could be a good system for building simple websites. Over time I discovered its potential and decided to actively help the Grav community.

So I decided to start creating themes for Grav and collaborate on other projects, like Gantry, another powerful web design framework. I hope that my topics help more and more people to approach Grav CMS and try all its benefits.
