About Textpattern
Textpattern is a PHP-based CMS that lets you build websites without the bloat of larger platforms. It handles content creation, database management, and template control through a clean admin panel. The system is built around the idea of giving authors a distraction-free writing environment while still offering enough hooks for developers to customize everything.
The platform uses its own textile markup language or straight HTML for content, making it a strong choice for people who want clean output. It supports MySQL or PostgreSQL, runs on any standard LAMP stack, and has a plugin system for extending functionality. Themes, custom fields, and article categories are built in without extra modules.
Textpattern is maintained by a volunteer community and the company Textpattern Ltd. It is free software released under the GPL, so there are no licensing costs or paid tiers. Ideal for bloggers, small business sites, and developers who prefer lightweight, predictable code over drag-and-drop builders.
