# Why Me?

## **Simple, smart design.**

We believe the best recipe to make something great, is to bake with [quality ingredients](#features) and add dollops of [cool stuff](#features).

###### Crazy Fast

Performance is not just an afterthought, we baked it in from the start!

###### Easy to build

Simple text files means Grav is trivial to install, and easy to maintain

###### Awesome Technology

Grav employs best-in-class technologies such as Twig, Markdown & Yaml

###### Super Flexible

From the ground up, with many plugin hooks, Grav is extremely extensible

###### Abundant Plugins

A vibrant developer community means 200+ plugins available to download

###### Free / Open Source

Grav is an open source project, so you can spend your money on other stuff

## **Your Content** Unchained!

No longer are you *held captive by your CMS*. Grav **empowers** you to create anything from a [simple one-page site](https://demo.getgrav.org/onepage-skeleton), to a [beautiful blog](https://demo.getgrav.org/blog-skeleton), to a powerful and feature-rich [shop site](https://demo.getgrav.org/shop-skeleton), to pretty much anything you can dream up!
