'pH7Builder (formerly known as pH7CMS and pH7 Social Dating CMS) is an open-source social community software written by Pierre-Henry Soria that allows the creation of online communities and social dating services.

pH7Builder is written in PHP 7.4,^[2] is object-oriented and uses the MVC pattern (Model-View-Controller).

The software is based on the homemade pH7Framework and is designed with the KISS principle in mind. For better flexibility, the software uses PDO (PHP Data Objects) abstraction which allows the choice of the database. The principle of development is DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) aims at reducing the repetition of information of all kinds (no code duplication).

It also aims to be fast, low-resource-intensive, extremely powerful, and very secure.^{[citation needed]}
