Statamic is a flat-first, Laravel-powered content management system distributed as a Composer package that installs into an existing Laravel application. It stores content in Markdown/YAML files by default (with optional database mode) and offers a Vue-based control panel, blueprints for content modeling, and optional headless REST/GraphQL APIs in its Pro tier.

Use cases

• build a flat-file CMS website on Laravel
• manage marketing site content without a database
• create a headless CMS with REST or GraphQL APIs
• run a multi-site or multilingual publishing platform
• give editors a friendly control panel for Markdown content
• version-control site content automatically with Git

When to choose

• you are already in the Laravel/PHP ecosystem and want a CMS that integrates natively
• you prefer flat-file content stored in Git over a database
• you need a polished editing experience for content-driven sites
• you want a CMS that can scale from flat files to database mode

When to avoid

• you need a language or framework other than PHP/Laravel
• you require unlimited users, revisions, or headless APIs without paying for the Pro license
• you want a fully open-source CMS with no commercial licensing restrictions
• you need a lightweight blog-only tool where a static site generator would suffice
