Why developers love Volto
Build faster
Volto is designed to start creating content out of the box. You need a different view on your content? We use component shadowing to override an existing view with a custom version, without having to modify Volto’s source. Just copy and modify the markup.
No reinvention of the wheel
Concentrate on features and design. The rich ecosystem of React components is at hand.
Do more with less
Volto supports Semantic UI with declarative APIs providing robust features and prop validation.
