What Evolution CMS Is Today

Evolution CMS is:
• a fast and reliable CMS,
• a platform that covers a full spectrum of use cases,
• a flexible system designed for long-term projects and sustainable growth.

Laravel as a Strategic Foundation

Since Evolution CMS 2.0, the entire backend has been built on Laravel.
This was a strategic decision that:
• significantly expanded the platform’s capabilities,
• provided a modern, industry-standard architecture,
• reduced long-term maintenance and development costs,
• eliminated risks related to custom backend support.

By leveraging Laravel, Evolution CMS benefits from a stable, well-supported ecosystem and predictable long-term development.

Evolution CMS 3.5

Release 3.5 delivers:
• a core upgrade to Laravel 12,
• architectural and UI improvements,
• a solid foundation for future updates.

We deliberately focus on updates, not breaking changes.
Backward compatibility remains a core principle, ensuring existing projects continue to work without disruption.

Ecosystem and Scalability

Evolution CMS features a growing ecosystem of modules, including solutions for:
• e-commerce,
• SEO,
• multilingual content,
• multisite architectures,

• structured content and media management.

This ecosystem allows Evolution CMS to function as a flexible platform for building scalable digital products.
