October CMS, built on top of Laravel, is beautiful, clever and on the way to be the new #1 CMS

PreviousNext

Do you remember when you tried to edit one line of code inside TYPO3 or Contao ? And the extreme frustration with that ? These big, cluttered, messy content management systems built with partly horrible code, totally unmaintainable, totally unintutive, slow and making you aggressive and saying “it would be faster to built all this myself” ?

October CMS is the exact opposite: A beautiful, minimal, clever CMS built on top of Laravel. This fact alone is awesome. But have a look on the short introduction, and see how easy  – and professional – it is to edit code from inside the backend, how intelligent the routing is handled and how perfect the AJAX-example is created.

The backend’s UI is probably the best ever seen in a CMS, regardless of which language.
