Introduction to CMS

Ship faster with a CMS built for Astro

Webcore CMS is a content management system built from the ground up for Astro. It gives developers a flexible, schema-driven foundation to model any content structure, while providing editors with a clean visual interface to build and manage pages, without touching code.

It ships as part of your Astro project. You own the code, the data, and the deployment. No platform lock-in, no ongoing fees, no external dependencies. It’s built on top of Webcore Pro, so you get access to all our premium components and templates.

Key Features

Visual block builder Pick from over 60 premium WebcoreUI blocks and arrange them visually into fully structured pages.

Schema-driven blocks Each block schema ties directly to a component's props, with a purpose-built control for every data type.

Native Astro DB integration The schema is built on Astro DB. Setup takes just a few commands and fits naturally into existing Astro projects.

Editorial workflows Design the content lifecycle that matches how your team works. Stay organized and nothing ships accidentally.

Flexible content modeling Shape the CMS around your project. Articles, authors, products. If your project needs it, you can model it.

Role-based access control Create custom roles with over 20 granular permissions. Decide exactly who can draft, publish, or manage content.

Prerequisites

Webcore CMS is aimed at developers setting up and maintaining the project, with a separate editorial experience designed for non-technical content editors. While no prior CMS experience is required. To get the most out of the CMS, you should be comfortable with the following:

Astro The entire CMS is built on top of Astro with Astro DB

Svelte The CMS is built using Svelte as a SPA within Astro

TypeScript Fully typed for type safety and better developer experience

Sass Styles are written in Sass just like in WebcoreUI
