Statamic & CMS sites
Update your own pages, news and images in Statamic, a fast, flat-file content management system, without touching code or breaking the design.
Flat-file CMS Built on Laravel Custom add-ons
What’s included
A control panel set up for the content you actually publish, and nothing you don’t.
-
Editing that fits your content
Fields and page sections made for what you publish, so editing a page feels like filling in a form.
-
Flat files, no database to babysit
Statamic keeps content in files, so the whole site can be versioned and backed up like code.
-
Live preview
See a page exactly as visitors will before you publish it.
-
Forms that reach you
Contact and sign-up forms that store every entry and email it to the right person, with spam filtering.
-
Custom add-ons
When a site needs more, we write Statamic add-ons: newsletters, software licensing, support tickets.
-
Updates and upgrades
Statamic and Laravel kept up to date, and older sites moved to new major versions.

Questions
Straight answers to what people usually ask first.
Why Statamic?
It’s fast, it keeps content in files instead of a database, and its control panel is clean and easy to learn. It also runs on Laravel, so custom features are straightforward to add.
Can you move our existing site to Statamic?
Yes. We move your pages and images across and set up redirects, so old links and bookmarks keep working.
Do we need a Statamic license?
Not always. Statamic’s free Solo edition suits a site with one editor; more editor accounts, several languages or revision history need a paid Pro license. We’ll tell you which one fits before we start.
Who hosts it?
We can host and maintain it for you, or deploy it to a server you already have. See Hosting & maintenance.
