Grav is a free software, self-hosted content management system (CMS) written in the PHP programming language and based on the Symfony web application framework. It uses a flat file database for both backend and frontend.

Grav is designed to have a shallow learning curve, and to be easy to set up. The focus of Grav is speed and simplicity, rather than an abundance of built-in features that come at the expense of added complexity.

The name Grav is a shortened version of the word gravity.[4]

Grav is the most starred PHP CMS on GitHub, with over 14,245 stars.[5]

A lot of interesting articles about Grav CMS and its possibilities are available in the Czech language on the microsite Grav.cz (gravcz.github.io).[6]
