What October users say
October CMS has opened up new highways for rapid tooling & web development for us. New models and user interactions can be framed up tremendously fast using October CMS’s robust widget system. What used to cost our customers tremendous amounts of capital, are now much more attainable. All while maintaining fundamental Laravel patterns. It’s an absolute joy to work with!
October is a perfect platform to build everything from simple websites to complex web applications. October’s focus on developers and the powerful base that Laravel provides are a perfect match for increased productivity.
We at LOVATA chose October CMS a couple of years ago as one of the main technologies to develop new projects. The main reason was that it's based on Laravel, the best PHP framework ever, and continues it's best traditions of high security, performance, and flexibility.
October CMS provides a useful API on top of Laravel, and raises the Developer Experience (DX) to new heights! What separates October from other CMS is that it allows using best modern development tools and practices: ORM and DB migrations, package management (with a wide Laravel ecosystem) and easy integration with third-party software (Redis, Beanstalk etc.), deployment and QA automation.
We support the path Octobers CMS's core team has chosen and believe in the great perspectives of their project. That’s why we've started the development of our own product based on October CMS — Shopaholic e-commerce ecosystem!
OctoberCMS is a pragmatic product that gives value both for technical and non-technical users. Clear navigation and conveniently designed forms make it very easy to introduce this platform to our customers and the time and effort spend on training is minimized compared to other platforms. The number of available plugins may seem to be limited but in reality they cover most of the clients’ needs. On the other hand, if there’s ever a need to build a custom feature, we’re always sure that the development process will be smooth and undisturbed. It stands on top of Laravel technology so it's easy to develop and maintain custom functionalities. It's our platform of choice for most small and medium sized projects.
Clients love the clean backend. Support and training time have dropped by 50%.
