## What it is
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
