**Contensio is an open-source content management system built as a Laravel 13 package.** It takes the familiar WordPress mental model — install, activate themes, manage plugins, publish from an admin panel — and delivers it on top of modern Laravel.

Contensio is designed for **any content-driven application**, not just blogs or public websites. Use it to build multi-language publishing sites, private admin tools, content-heavy product catalogs, community platforms, documentation sites, or anything else where structured content meets end users.

> 🚧 **Active development — currently in alpha.** APIs may still change. Feedback and bug reports are welcome. Expect a `0.1.0` stable release after a few rounds of beta testing.

Key features
------------

[](#key-features)

- 🧱 **Block-based editor** — modular content blocks, reorderable, translatable
- 🎨 **Themes** — admin-installable, activate from UI, customize colors/fonts/layout per theme
- 🔌 **Plugins** — install/enable/disable through the admin panel, declare their own permissions and roles
- 🌍 **Multi-language** out of the box — every content type, term, menu, and theme option is translatable
- 🗂️ **Custom content types** — define any content shape from the admin (not just posts &amp; pages)
- 📸 **Media library** with automatic thumbnails and translations
- 🧭 **Drag-and-drop menu builder** with theme-declared locations, per-language labels
- 👥 **Users, Roles &amp; Permissions** — 4 predefined roles, wildcard + per-content-type scoping, plugin-extensible
- 🔐 **Full auth flow** — login, logout, password reset, email verification, password confirmation
- 💾 **Content autosave** — debounced form saves every 2.5s + restore prompt on reload
- 🔎 **SEO built-in** — sitemap.xml, robots.txt, Open Graph + Twitter Cards, global noindex toggle
- 🏠 **Self-hosted** — AGPL-3.0, your data stays on your server

Install
-------

[](#install)

Contensio is a Laravel package. Add it to any Laravel 13 application:

```
composer require contensio/contensio:^0.1@alpha
php artisan migrate
```

The `@alpha` flag tells Composer it's OK to install a pre-release version. Once `0.1.0` stable ships, the flag goes away:

```
composer require contensio/contensio
```
