ContentBox Evolves with BoxLang-First Development and Smarter Content Management
ContentBox has always been more than just a CMS, it’s the beating heart of Ortus Solutions and the backbone powering our sites and applications. For over 13 years, it has grown alongside ColdBox, constantly adapting to modern development trends. Now, with the arrival of BoxLang, ContentBox is taking its most exciting leap forward yet.
We’re thrilled to announce a new era: ContentBox is evolving into a BoxLang-first platform, reimagined for today’s developers, content creators, and organizations that demand speed, flexibility, and smarter tools.
Why This Matters
The world of content management has changed dramatically. Developers and businesses need CMS platforms that aren’t just stable but are modern, modular, and intelligent. By embracing BoxLang at its core, ContentBox is positioning itself as the go-to solution for the next generation of apps, whether you’re building on CFML or diving headfirst into BoxLang.
From an upgraded admin interface to AI-powered content generation with bx-ai, ContentBox 7.x is designed to help teams do more, faster, with less friction.
