Alchemy
Content management that grows with you – flexible, modular, open
Alchemy is an open-source CMS built for teams that need full control – over structure, data flows, and deployment. Developed as a Ruby on Rails engine, Alchemy integrates seamlessly into existing applications and works both server-side and headless.
Content and layout? Separate.
Alchemy stores content independently from the layout. This creates clarity in structure, simplifies maintenance, and makes content reusable across multiple channels – whether web, app, or API.
Modular design. Easily extendable.
Six core modules (Pages, Languages, Websites, Users, Tags, Library) form the foundation. Everything else is extendable according to project needs.
A UI that thinks along.
The interface is designed for fast work. Create, edit, and organize content – with no learning curve. Featuring live preview directly in context.
API-first, if desired.
With the integrated JSON API, Alchemy can be easily connected to modern frontends like React, Vue, or Nuxt. Ideal for headless setups.
Multilingual. Multi-site capable.
Multiple languages and websites can be managed within a single instance. No detours. No plugin hacks.
Security through roles and permissions.
The permissions system is finely adjustable. Access is role-based – for editors, developers, or external partners.
