Backdrop CMS
The high-performance, affordable alternative for Drupal 7 sites looking for a modern upgrade path.

The open-source Laravel CMS that merges visual drag-and-drop editing with enterprise-grade e-commerce.
Microweber stands as a unique architectural hybrid in the 2026 web development landscape, built on the Laravel framework. It distinguishes itself by providing a 'Live Edit' environment where users can drag and drop elements directly onto a live version of their website, bypassing the traditional backend/frontend disconnect. As a 100% open-source solution, it caters to developers who require the extensibility of a modern PHP framework while delivering a no-code experience for end-clients. In 2026, Microweber has integrated significant AI-assisted layout generation and automated SEO metadata auditing, making it a formidable competitor to proprietary builders like Wix and Squarespace for users who demand data sovereignty. Its modular architecture allows for the seamless addition of custom modules, while its built-in e-commerce engine handles inventory, shipping, and payments natively. The platform is particularly favored by hosting providers and agencies due to its robust white-label capabilities, allowing for a rebranded CMS experience that can be resold under a private label.
