Every new Laravel website project seemed to start the same way.
Create pages. Build a blog system. Add media management. Create menus. Set up roles and permissions. Add SEO fields. Repeat.
I enjoy working with Laravel, but I realized I was rebuilding the same CMS foundations over and over again.
I also tried using WordPress for some projects. It's great for getting started quickly, but once projects become more custom and application-like, I often found myself fighting plugins, limitations, and architectural decisions that didn't fit the project.
At some point, I asked myself a simple question:
What if I could have the ease of WordPress but keep everything inside a modern Laravel ecosystem?
That question became FalconCMS.
FalconCMS is an open-source, Laravel-native CMS built for developers and agencies who want to build content-driven websites faster without leaving the Laravel ecosystem.
Some of the features currently available include:
✅ Drag-and-drop page builder with live preview
✅ Dynamic content support
✅ Visual menu builder and mega menus
✅ Media library and reusable widgets
✅ Custom post types and taxonomies
✅ Multi-language support
✅ SEO fields, schema, and sitemap generation
✅ Form builder and revision history
✅ Roles and permissions
✅ Built-in analytics and activity logs
✅ REST API support
✅ Simple and variable products, carts, checkout, coupons, and payment gateways
✅ WordPress-style hooks API for extending functionality
The goal isn't to replace WordPress for everyone.
The goal is to provide Laravel developers with a CMS that feels native to the framework, reduces repetitive work, and gives teams a solid starting point for client websites, blogs, business sites, and content-heavy applications.
FalconCMS is still young and actively evolving. I'm building it openly and would genuinely appreciate feedback from the Laravel community.
I'd love to hear your thoughts:
If you build websites with Laravel, what is the one CMS feature you find yourself rebuilding again and again?

Feedback, suggestions, and even criticism are all welcome. I'm excited to keep improving FalconCMS with input from fellow developers.
