About BinaryCMS
BinaryCMS is an open-source content management system written entirely in Go — compiled to a single binary, blazing fast, and infinitely extensible through a plugin ecosystem.
We believe the web deserves better tools. WordPress is slow, PHP is a security nightmare, and SaaS platforms lock you in. BinaryCMS is our answer: self-hosted, sub-100ms response times, and a pay-once plugin marketplace.Our Mission
Why Go?
Go compiles to a single native binary with no runtime dependencies. That means you drop one file on any Linux server and your site is live — no PHP, no Node.js, no Docker required. The binary handles thousands of concurrent requests on the smallest VPS.
Core Values
- Performance first — every page render targets under 5ms server-side
- Simplicity — one binary, one SQLite database, one command to run
- Ownership — your data, your server, no subscriptions
- Extensibility — plugins via RPC isolation mean a bad plugin can never crash your site
- Affordability — the core is free forever; plugins start at $5 with lifetime licences
The Team
BinaryCMS is built and maintained by a small team of developers passionate about performance and simplicity. We use BinaryCMS to power our own sites and dogfood every release before shipping.
