Roadiz

Roadiz is a PHP CMS built around a polymorphic node/content schema that lets you model arbitrary content types and organize them hierarchically. It provides both a traditional themable back office and API-first features for headless deployments.

Key Features

• Polymorphic node system for flexible content schemas and structured content modelling
• Built on Symfony (Symfony Flex) using Doctrine ORM for data persistence
• API-first architecture with API platform integrations to expose headless endpoints
• Decoupled theming with Twig-based templates allowing multiple themes per repository
• Administrative back office focused on usability and content editing workflow
• Extensible bundle ecosystem (search bundle integrations such as Solr are available)
• Developer tooling: Docker-based development environment, composer-based PHP workflow, and entity/model generators

Use Cases

• Create headless content APIs for single-page applications or mobile apps
• Build content-heavy websites with custom content types and complex relationships
• Publish themable marketing or institution websites that require multiple themes and editorial workflows

Limitations and Considerations

• The v1.x repository is legacy and receives only security updates; active v2+ development moved to a monorepo and newer packages
• Some functionality is delivered via optional bundles; specific integrations (search, auth, markdown) may require additional configuration or separate packages

Roadiz is suitable for teams that need a highly customizable CMS with strong developer tooling and both traditional and headless delivery options. Evaluate the v2+ ecosystem for up-to-date packages and recommended project skeletons.
