Keep the admin your clients already know. Drop the PHP themes, the plugin sprawl and the update treadmill. Prelo is an open-source, self-hosted CMS designed to be built by AI agents and run by humans.
Twenty years of WordPress trained every client on the same vocabulary: posts, pages, media, drafts, users. Prelo keeps it on purpose. When you hand over a Prelo site, the client logs into a studio they have effectively seen before — no training call, no handover doc.
Export your content as WXR, point your agent at it, and it imports posts, pages and media through the content API — types included. Most sites move in an afternoon. Comparing options first? See Prelo vs WordPress for the head-to-head, or the best headless CMS roundup.
Yes — MIT licensed and self-hosted, with no per-seat or per-editor pricing. Optional managed hosting is planned for clients who don’t want to run a server.
No. The studio edits content, not code. Roles scope what each person touches, and every change is audit-logged and reversible.
E-commerce is out of scope — keep WordPress or use a dedicated platform. Forms, SEO metadata and redirects are core features, not plugins.
Free and open source. One command, and the client gets a login instead of a Loom.
