THE PLATFORM THAT GETS BACK TO BASICS
October is a free, open-source, self-hosted CMS platform based on the Laravel PHP Framework. A simple and modular CMS that grows with you, with a precise and beautiful interface that comes as second nature.

  • Simplistic
  • Modern
  • Made for People
  • Universal
  • Extensible
  • Fun to Use
  • Reliable
  • For any team
  • Easy to Learn
  • Saves Time

With over 100k installs, it must be doing something right, all in just over 2 years.

Did I mention it is a flat file based CMS? But you can still use a database if you want, best of both worlds, I think so.

Features

  • Simple modern template engine (uses Twig)
  • Best tools from the PHP world (October is built on Laravel, the best existing PHP framework)
  • Page components (nice component system for building pages)
  • Extensible platform (simple and easy to implement plugins, over 200 of them)
  • Easy administrative interfaces (this is a big one, perfect for clients)
  • Simple AJAX framework
  • Quick scaffolding (via the free Builder plugin)
  • File-based templates
  • Built-in asset combiner
  • No need to change your habits (works with your existing development workflows)
  • Oh and there is a Marketplace

Some other features

  • Manage the website without programming with a WYSIWYG
  • CDN support and image cropping
  • Translatable contents (everyone loves i18N)
