Custom CMS (Content Management System)

Project Overview

A fully customised Content Management System built from scratch using Laravel, designed to give business owners complete control over their website content without relying on third-party platforms like WordPress.

Challenges

The client needed a CMS that matched their exact workflow — standard platforms were either too restrictive or required costly plugins for every small customisation. Security and performance were also top priorities.

Solution

Built a modular Laravel CMS with role-based access control, a WYSIWYG content editor, dynamic page builder, and a media manager. The admin panel was crafted with a clean Bootstrap UI for non-technical users.

Key Features

• Role-based access: Super Admin, Editor, Author
• Dynamic page builder with drag-and-drop sections
• SEO manager with meta tags, Open Graph, and sitemap auto-generation
• Media library with image resizing and WebP conversion
• Audit logs for all content changes

Results

The client reduced content publishing time by 60% and eliminated their dependency on expensive third-party CMS licences. The system handles 50k+ monthly visitors without performance issues.
