Compare Bolt CMS vs. WordPress

Bolt CMS is a lightweight CMS built with the Silex Microframework. It is well built and a great alternative for developers looking for a modern PHP system to replace WordPress, for example.

WordPress is not a very modern PHP CMS and does not use Symfony or other components. It is very popular and earns it's position in the listing of Symfony CMSes.

• Standard components for Forms and Database
• Clean purpose, not trying to solve every problem

• Very popular
• Good usability
• Vibrant community

• Developer availability compared to WP
• Extensibility for multilingual, etc. depends on extensions
• Limited community size

• Shoddy code quality
• Relies on 3rd party plugins a lot
• A weak security trackrecord, partly due to plugins
