History

[edit]

Crafter Software Corporation was originally founded in 2013 and released first version of CrafterCMS in 2014.[3][4] In 2019, Crafter partnered with Lighter Capital, receiving revenue-based debt investment. Later in March 2022, they closed on a second institutional round of funding from Lighter Capital.[5][6]

CrafterCMS version 4.0 was launched in June 2022, featuring an experience builder for composing digital experiences, a Crafter Studio Content Authoring Application, and a plug-in framework with an expanded marketplace.[7][8][9] In February 2024, CrafterCMS announced the expansion of its marketplace, which now includes over 60 plugins, including an AI-plugin that integrates ChatGPT from OpenAI to support content creation.[10][11][12]

CrafterCMS is distributed under an open-source license (GNU General Public License Version 3.0), making it freely available for anyone to use, modify, and distribute.[13]
