October CMS is a self-hosted content management system and web platform built on the Laravel PHP framework, using Twig templating and a plugin/theme marketplace. It targets developers and agencies building client websites with full control over code, data, and hosting.

Use cases

  • build a self-hosted website with a CMS
  • create a blog with posts, categories, and RSS
  • build a client site on Laravel
  • set up a forum or helpdesk site
  • manage content with a developer-friendly backend
  • host a multilingual website on my own server

When to choose

  • you want a Laravel-based CMS you fully own and self-host
  • you are a developer or agency building custom client websites
  • you need Twig templating, plugins, and themes with Git-friendly file-based templates
  • data sovereignty or GDPR-compliant hosting matters

When to avoid

  • you need a fully free open-source CMS without a production license
  • you want a hosted, no-code website builder
  • your team does not work with PHP or Laravel
