Evolution CMS 3.5.0
Evolution CMS 3.5 — 21 Years of Proven Evolution
Evolution CMS is a content management platform with 21 years of continuous development, originating in 2004 with MODX Evolution 0.7 and evolving into a modern, stable system used for projects of any scale — from simple websites to complex digital products.
⸻
What Evolution CMS Is Today
Evolution CMS is:
• a fast and reliable CMS,
• a platform that covers a full spectrum of use cases,
• a flexible system designed for long-term projects and sustainable growth.
⸻
Laravel as a Strategic Foundation
Since Evolution CMS 2.0, the entire backend has been built on Laravel.
This was a strategic decision that:
• significantly expanded the platform’s capabilities,
• provided a modern, industry-standard architecture,
• reduced long-term maintenance and development costs,
• eliminated risks related to custom backend support.
By leveraging Laravel, Evolution CMS benefits from a stable, well-supported ecosystem and predictable long-term development.
⸻
Evolution CMS 3.5
Release 3.5 delivers:
• a core upgrade to Laravel 12,
• architectural and UI improvements,
• a solid foundation for future updates.
We deliberately focus on updates, not breaking changes.
Backward compatibility remains a core principle, ensuring existing projects continue to work without disruption.
⸻
Ecosystem and Scalability
Evolution CMS features a growing ecosystem of modules, including solutions for:
• e-commerce,
• SEO,
• multilingual content,
• multisite architectures,
• asynchronous task processing,
• structured content and media management.
This ecosystem allows Evolution CMS to function as a flexible platform for building scalable digital products.
⸻
Development Direction
Our approach is evolution, not revolution.
Stability, backward compatibility, and long-term value are the foundation of every decision.
Further platform updates and ecosystem expansion are planned for 2026, continuing the steady and predictable growth of Evolution CMS.
⸻
Key Points
• 21 years of continuous development
• Laravel-based backend as a strategic core
• Backward compatibility as a priority
• Scalable architecture and modular ecosystem
• Clear long-term development roadmap
Evolution CMS 3.5 represents a mature platform that continues to evolve with modern technology while preserving long-term stability.
