WordPress flexibility. Symfony power.
SymPress brings Symfony's application architecture into WordPress — dependency injection, a service container, and testable package boundaries — without replacing WordPress's runtime. WordPress stays the CMS, admin, and plugin ecosystem; SymPress adds the structure larger Composer-based projects need.
🚧 Pre-release. Foundation packages have shipped their first stable releases. Documentation, Packagist publishing, and the public demo are actively being built out.

- A Symfony-powered application layer for WordPress sites, plugins, and themes
- Reusable Composer packages you adopt one at a time, not all at once
- Reference tooling for local setup, quality checks, CI, and demos
