The ecosystem

Upstream projects offer many possibilities through plugins and free services

Silex is built using three significant open source projects: GrapesJS, 11ty, Gitlab.

When choosing Silex it is important to know what it is built with, because we owe these projects a lot of love, and also because developers can integrate GrapesJS plugins to add new design capabilities, use 11ty plugins to enhance site generation features, liverage Gitlab pages and Gitlab pipelines for custom deployments, thus tailoring Silex to meet specific needs and expanding its functionality significantly.
