🏆 Silex received an OW2 Best Project Award

OW2 is the European open-source community that brings together companies, public institutions and developers around free software. At OW2con'26 in Paris on June 2, their jury gave Silex a Best Project Award in the Technology category.

It recognizes years of work to make web creation free with open-source and no-code tools, and the whole community that tests, reports bugs, contributes and builds with Silex. Thank you.

🛠️ Help us test Silex v3.8.0

The next version is almost ready and needs testing before it reaches v3.silex.me. Try the canary version and report any issue on the forum.

What's new: the redesigned filter that shows active CSS styles in the editor, plus a series of bug fixes.

💬 Your sites (Showcase)

Two sites recently built with Silex and shared on the forum: whynotprod.com (Silex + Squidex, by ceubri) and jpwebdesign.be (rebuilt with Silex + Squidex and a live CMS demo, by Jean-philippe). Built a site with Silex? Post it in the Showcase tag.

📣 Conferences, see you there?

Alex presented Silex at JDLL 2026 in Lyon on May 30, with the talk "Building static sites in 2026, free web design with Silex".

Silex takes part in No Code Week: Alex runs the workshop "Build a website without code" on Wednesday June 17 (10:15-11:15) in Frankfurt. Info and registration.
