Primo

Primo is an open source content management system that builds sites from Svelte blocks and lets clients edit their content in a visual editor.

Primo is an open source content management system. Developers build pages from reusable Svelte blocks, and clients edit the content in a visual editor in the browser. The site is kept as a database and as a folder of structured files, and the same server runs the CMS and serves the published sites. The documentation covers local and deployed setups.

Worth knowing

The software is free to self-host, and the pricing page describes optional paid hosting plans. The README marks the CLI and local-file workflow as in beta.
