    Highly scalable on sites big and small

    ProcessWire uses a hierarchal tree structure for pages. There is no limit imposed by ProcessWire to the depth in which this structure can be defined. It is comfortable scaling to large and complex data needs, and remains simple regardless of scale.

    Total control over the design

    All fields in ProcessWire are custom fields that you easily define and edit in the admin. You can create as many of them as you want, and of any type. You can even bundle them in repeatable groups called Repeater fields. You control all of the markup, not ProcessWire.

    The easiest editing experience around

    ProcessWire is a no-nonsense content editing tool that is built by the same people that use it every day. With an ideal balance of power with ease-of-use, ProcessWire is about getting things done, easily and rapidly.

    Multi-language ready

    Designed for multi-language from the core with best-in-class multi-language capabilities, multi-language fields and translation tools.

    Peace of mind

    Unlike other platforms, you can launch a ProcessWire site and then leave it for years without maintenance or updates (should that be the need). It’s that reliable.

    basic-page.php
    <!-- Output page title -->
<h1><?= $page->title ?></h1>

<!-- Output page body rich text field -->
<div><?= $page->body ?></div>

<!-- Output image -->
<img src="<?= $page->img->url ?>">
    head.php
    // Render primary navigation
foreach($pages->get("/")->children as $p) {
  echo "<a href='$p->url'>$p->title</a> ";
}

// Render titles of child pages
echo $page->children->each("<li>{title}");
    blog-post.php
    <!-- Render simple breadcrumb nav -->
<ul class="breadcrumbs">
  <?= $page->parents->each('<li><a href="{url}">{title}</a>') ?>
</ul>
    skyscrapers.php
    // Find and list tall buildings
$buildings = $pages->get("/buildings/");
$skyscrapers = $buildings->find("height>1000");
echo $skyscrapers->each("<li>{height}: {title}");
