Statamic

The flat-file CMS that doesn't suck

PaidFree TierAdded Jan 1, 2012

About

Statamic is a Laravel-based CMS that stores content as flat files (Markdown, YAML) but feels like a modern CMS. It's beloved by developers and designers who want full control over their stack without a database or a heavy admin. Built by a tiny team led by Jack McDade.

Origin Story

By Jack McDade

The Problem

Jack wanted a CMS that felt as good to build with as it did to use, with no database overhead and full developer control.

Building It

Statamic launched in 2012, was rebuilt on Laravel as v3, and continues to evolve as a small, opinionated CMS.

What It Means

Proof that a developer-focused CMS with personality can carve out a sustainable niche against WordPress.

The Dream

Be the CMS developers and clients both genuinely enjoy.
