A Laravel‑based CMS that simplifies web development workflow
October CMS delivers a lightweight, Laravel‑powered platform that returns development to basics, offering straightforward installation, clear documentation, and a plugin ecosystem for building modern websites.
October CMS is a Laravel‑based content management platform designed for developers who want a straightforward, code‑first approach to building websites. By stripping away unnecessary complexity, it lets you focus on core development tasks while leveraging familiar Laravel conventions and PSR coding standards.
Installation is a single Composer command followed by an optional php artisan october:install if a database is required. Comprehensive documentation, video tutorials, and an active community provide guidance from first‑time setup to advanced customization. A rich plugin ecosystem—including the RainLab suite—extends functionality for blogs, e‑commerce, and more, allowing you to tailor each project without reinventing the wheel.
October CMS requires a modest per‑site license, positioning it as a professional solution that balances open‑source flexibility with commercial support.
When teams consider October, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Portfolio website
Launch a personal portfolio in minutes using Composer install and the built‑in installer.
Corporate blog
Publish and schedule posts with the RainLab Blog plugin, leveraging familiar Laravel routing.
E‑commerce storefront
Integrate a ready‑made e‑commerce plugin to manage products, payments, and orders.
Client project delivery
Build custom client sites while staying within the Laravel skill set and licensing model.
A small license fee is required for each website you deploy with October CMS.
Run `composer create-project october/october myoctober` and, if using a database, execute `php artisan october:install`.
It is open source but not classified as free software; a commercial license is required per site.
Official documentation, video tutorials on the YouTube channel, and community tutorials such as Watch & Learn.
