Dotclear's proposed aim is to develop a software that fully respects web standards based on open source services, with multilingual interface and publishing capabilities. It is written in PHP.

Notable features include handling many blogs, using Wiki or XHTML syntax for entries, adding pages that are independent from the flow of entries and support for several database types: (MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite).^[5][6]
