Why DevHolm

An overview of what DevHolm is, what it is for, and why it is free and self-hostable.

# A site framework for people who want to own their stack

DevHolm is a free framework for building a personal, creator, or small public-facing site that can handle writing, projects, pages, and admin-managed content without giving up ownership of the codebase or the deployment.

# What it is trying to solve

a clean blog and page system
project pages that can act as proof and context
a separation between framework code and user customizations
a way to publish public content without stuffing everything into git

# What it is not trying to be

DevHolm is not a hosted platform, a closed builder, or a no-code abstraction over your site. It assumes you want a real codebase and a real deployment, but you do not want to rebuild the common pieces every time.

# Why the site uses it too

devholm.com runs on the framework because the framework should prove itself in public.
