A better way to build

Developers are choosing to build static sites with Jekyll and Hugo. Forestry is the CMS that powers these sites at scale. A fundamentally better way to build, here's why:

More secure

Simpler setup means fewer attack points.
Faster Coding

With tools like Jekyll and Hugo, coding and maintenace are improved by 10x.
Simple to host

No LAMP stack required. Simple hosting with Amazon S3, GitHub Pages, Fastly, etc.
Less headaches

No more hacked sites, outdated plugins or WordPress updates. Build it and forget it.

How Forestry works

Import site

Connect to a repo or upload a zip of your Jekyll/Hugo project

Build CMS

Forestry.io will parse your project and automatically build a CMS

Deploy

Tell Forestry where to publish changes (Git repo, Amazon S3, FTP, etc)

Git Workflow

Push code and Forestry will update your CMS. When editors save changes in Forestry, all updates get committed back to your repo. Everything under version control.

Manage Users

Give editors access. Manage roles and permissions.

Host anywhere

Forestry is host-agnostic. Every time someone updates content, Forestry will compile your site and deploy it to your host (S3, GitHub Pages, FTP, etc).
