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.

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	8.1+
Laravel	10, 11, 12, or 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. Visit /admin to access your dashboard.

Default credentials

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