PyroCMS is a cutting edge community driven Content Management System. It is built with power, beauty and simplicity in mind by using the PHP framework CodeIgniter. The CMS was originally developed by Phil Sturgeon in 2008. In 2009 this CMS was released open-source under the name PyroCMS, taken from Phil's forum handle at the time "thepyromaniac". It was welcomed by the community and by 2010 it had an active core development team. Since those early days PyroCMS has grown rapidly to be translated into more than 24 languages, accepted code from over 130 contributors and had more than 60,000 installations since v1.0. We're the Most Watched PHP CMS on GitHub. Even more recently PyroCMS has evolved into two logical branches: Community and Professional.
