October CMS is a self-hosted content management system built on the Laravel framework. Designed for both developers and editors, it combines an elegant, minimalist back-office with the full power of a modern PHP framework, making it an excellent foundation for brochure websites, business web applications, and truly custom projects.

Content is organized via pages, partials, and reusable components, featuring a Twig template engine and the Eloquent ORM for data. A marketplace of plugins and themes extends functionality, and developers can create their own extensions thanks to a clear and well-documented architecture.

October aims for simplicity and performance: no unnecessary overhead, readable code, and business logic that is easy to maintain over the long term. It is the choice of those who want a CMS with no technical compromises, deployable in a container and suited for professional use.
