VelvetCMS
Extended
The WordPress you wanted.
VelvetCMS Extended transforms Core into a complete content management system. Admin panel, block editor, media library, user management - everything clients and content teams expect.
Everything You Need
A complete CMS without the 15-year technical debt.
Admin Panel
Clean, modern interface with collapsible sidebar. Fast, responsive, works on mobile. No jQuery nightmares.
Block Editor
Gutenberg-inspired, but lighter. Drag-and-drop blocks, real-time preview, custom block types. Actually enjoyable to use.
Media Library
Drag-and-drop uploads, automatic responsive images, WebP conversion. Folders, tags, search. S3 and Cloudinary support.
Users & Roles
Admin, Editor, Author, Contributor. Granular capabilities. Custom roles via hooks. Two-factor authentication.
SEO Tools
Meta titles, descriptions, Open Graph, Twitter Cards. Focus keyword analysis. Sitemap generation. No plugin needed.
Analytics
Privacy-focused, built-in analytics. No cookies, no external services. Page views, referrers, popular content. GDPR-friendly.
Theme Customizer
Live preview customization. Colors, typography, layouts. Theme-defined options. No code required for basic changes.
Menu Builder
Visual drag-and-drop menu construction. Nested items, custom links, page/category selection. Multiple menu locations.
Smart AutoDriver
Extended's telemetry-based storage optimizer. Learns your usage patterns, recommends the best content driver automatically.
The Admin UI
Modern. Clean. Maximum workspace, minimum clutter.
Built on Core
Extended isn't a fork. It's a layer. Every feature of Core is available: the router, events, modules, CLI. Extended adds the admin experience on top.
If you outgrow Extended's conventions, drop down to Core. Write custom routes, build headless APIs, integrate with anything. The escape hatch is always there.
