In computing, SilverStripe is a free and open-source Content Management System (CMS) and framework for setting up and maintaining websites and web applications. It provides an out-of-the-box web-based administration panel that enables users to make modifications to parts of the website, which includes a WYSIWYG website editor. The core of the software is SilverStripe Framework, a PHP Web application framework.

SilverStripe Limited releases SilverStripe under the terms of the BSD License.

SilverStripe separates the roles of content authors (who get a rich (AJAX) web-based user interface that omits technical jargon) and website designers/developers (who write code: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP). This provides a contrast to CMS products that allow technical website development tasks to be performed within a GUI, and a contrast to programming frameworks that offer no out of the box content authoring application. The SilverStripe approach is stated to remove complexity for content authors, and offer more flexibility to developers.

The core of SilverStripe is named SilverStripe Framework. As with the rest of the platform, it is written in PHP (5.3), and takes advantage of its object-oriented design capabilities such as name-spacing. Sapphire provides website developers a framework to build and extend websites based on modern programming techniques including the model-view-controller (MVC like, the model doesn't include the ability to notify the view of updates) pattern and object-relational mapper.

SilverStripe generates markup using a custom template language based on W3C HTML5 that offers simple placeholders and conditional logic. SilverStripe is extensible through modules, widgets, themes and code customization.
