Build sites with ForgeCMS. Earn on every licence.
For web designers, agencies and freelancers. Your clients get fast sites without a database, plugin updates or subscriptions. You get partner prices on every module and keep the difference.

Questions
Can I host my clients' sites myself?
Yes. The ForgeCMS core is free software under the GPLv3, commercial use included. Only the paid modules need a licence per public domain (licence terms).
Do I have to be a developer?
No. Pages are written in SML, which is easy to read, and the ForgeDesigner builds them with you by prompt.
Can I use the free early adopter spots for my clients?
No, they are for people's own sites, one site per person. As a partner you get partner prices instead.
What does my client pay?
That is up to you. Our list prices above are a recommendation.
