Introduction

Volto is a ReactJS-based frontend for the Plone Content Management System. It is the default frontend starting with the Plone 6 release.

Plone is a CMS built on Python with more than 20 years of history and experience.

Plone has features that appeal to developers and users alike, such as an intuitive editing interface, customizable content types, hierarchical organization, and a sophisticated permissions model. This allows you to build anything from simple websites to enterprise-grade intranets.

Volto exposes all these features and communicates with Plone via its REST API.

Volto features the Pastanaga editor, a modern block-based content layout editor. It is extensible and customizable, so you can adapt the provided default blocks to meet your requirements, or build new ones.

Volto is extensible using add-ons. You can build your own or choose from the community released ones:

Volto in production

Volto has been actively developed since 2017. It has been used in production since 2018 on numerous websites.

The authoritative source of the list of Volto websites in production is maintained at Awesome Volto.

The Plone Marketing Team copy-pastes its content on a quarterly basis into They use Plone 6.

Open-source websites built with Volto

The following websites have been built with Volto. You can find their complete source code by following their links. Please note that complex websites are built on top of Volto add-ons, and most of the time they're just an empty shell for the add-ons. You should check the dependencies in their package.json for more details.
