Introduction

FalconCMS is a full-featured, WordPress-inspired CMS package for Laravel. Drop it into any Laravel app and get a complete admin dashboard with a drag-and-drop page builder, e-commerce, multi-language support, and much more — in minutes.

This is what php artisan falcon:install leaves you with. Everything below is reachable from that sidebar — and you can click through it yourself on the live demo.

Why FalconCMS?

Most Laravel CMS solutions are either too simple or require you to rebuild everything from scratch. FalconCMS gives you a production-ready foundation:

• No separate installation — it's a Composer package, lives inside your Laravel app
• Full admin dashboard — pages, posts, custom post types, menus, media, users, settings
• Falcon Builder — a visual drag-and-drop page builder (think Elementor, but for Laravel)
• E-commerce ready — shop, cart, checkout, orders, coupons out of the box
• Extensible — WordPress-like hooks let you customize everything without modifying core files
• Plugins — drop-in plugins add features, admin pages and settings; install one by dragging a .zip

Requirements

Requirement	Version
PHP	8.3+
Laravel	13+
Database	MySQL 5.7+ (recommended) or MariaDB 10.3+

Database support

MySQL / MariaDB are the only fully supported databases (MySQL 8+ recommended for production). SQLite is not recommended — it only partially works and some features depend on MySQL-specific behaviour. PostgreSQL and SQL Server are not supported.

Quick Start

# 1. Install the package
composer require falconcms/falconcms

# 2. Run the installer
php artisan falcon:install

That's it. The installer prints your login URL when it finishes — /falcon-admin on a fresh install, not /admin, which returns 404 to anyone who is not signed in.

Default credentials

After installation, use the credentials shown in your terminal output to log in.
