The right CMS starts with the right choice

Choose a Content Management System that fits your organization

A CMS is not a goal in itself. It should do what you need: publish, manage, and scale. Secure, flexible, and easy to use. That’s why we don’t build our websites on WordPress, but with Statamic or October CMS. These open source systems are stable, secure, and built on Laravel. Just like our custom solutions.

Why we use Statamic

Statamic is a modern CMS that offers what most websites need today. Think forms, calendars, project overviews, or multilingual support. These features come standard or are easy to extend. We build within the same Laravel structure as the CMS itself, so we can add custom modules or toggle components as needed. For example, a newsletter block that only appears on selected pages. This gives you full control without extra complexity. Statamic runs without a database, making your pages load faster and improving SEO. And with live preview, you can instantly see your changes. Perfect for teams that want to manage content themselves.

When to choose October CMS?

When a project requires integrations with internal systems or deals with complex data flows, we use October CMS. It’s a powerful, modular platform that gives us the flexibility to deliver custom-built tools that fit your existing IT setup. Without compromising on performance or usability.

Both systems are built on the Laravel PHP framework.

Why not WordPress?

Simple: it doesn’t match the way we work. WordPress relies heavily on plug-ins and workarounds, which introduces risk. Over 73% of the most popular WordPress installs are vulnerable. Every second, an average of 158 WordPress sites are hacked. We choose stability, security, and manageability. Laravel is our foundation. Statamic and October CMS are built to match. The Statamic development team maintains all core features most websites need, so you won’t need 50 third-party plug-ins of mixed quality like you would with WordPress.
