Why Jyavani

Small surface.
Serious capability.

A readable core, a configurable hidden admin route, and an extension system that grows with your needs.

01 / CORE

Framework-free by design.

Pure PHP 8 with an explicit structure. Composer and Node.js are not required to run the CMS.

  • Native PHP runtime
  • MariaDB / MySQL
  • Custom permalink
02 / EXTEND

Shape every layer.

Slot-based themes, visual zones, a plugin uploader, a shortcode engine, and multi-zone sidebars.

  • Theme & Plugin Store
  • Visual layout zones
  • Hooks & filters
03 / SECURE

Public root stays public.

The admin panel and private files stay outside the public root, with customizable authentication routes.

  • Hidden admin path
  • Private media streaming
  • Scoped file access
Release 2.3.185

Ready when you are.

Harden session integrity, upload provenance, executable path containment, and installer validation.
