+1 for Processwire! I’ve mentioned it here a few times over the years and nobody seems to have ever heard of it! I’ve got a few sites well past 10 years now still happily chugging away on it! Basically zero issues with it, ever. It’s still my go to for all sorts of projects - installs in a few seconds, loads of really useful functionality out the box, easy API, beautifully flexible for all sorts of projects and a great community and ecosystem around it as well!
replyA client of mine is using ProcessWire as his site was done by the guys behind process wire. Big shoutout. To the system and the guys.
replyGreat system as far as I am concerned - even if I tend to use KirbyCMS for most of my projects.
This looks extensible - how is the marketplace for finding people who can work on it? Wordpress is so common because it's so common you can always find someone to hack it together.
replyFirst point is the ProcessWire forum (1) — there's a super friendly community always willing to help. Second, there is a developers directory (2).
replyThere aren't a million dev adopters, but I actually see this as a benefit, because if you talk with someone from the forum, you'll see that most of them are highly experienced engineers. Core team members are in the US and EU.
+1 processwire. I have 10+ year old sites still running that have needed 0 maintenance, still running as good as day 1.
replyeven have built some complicated apps with it with great success.
it was the first headless CMS I found, before headless was a thing.
Just keeps getting better all the time too
ProcessWire mentioned! Didn’t expect that in 2026, but yes, I also use it a lot. Sites just keep chugging.
replyI assumed ProcessWire was some crusty olde CMS and am pleasantly surprised to see that it is NOT. It looks damn good and the sites created with it look great too. Adding this to my toolkit, thanks!
