Angel is a simple, developer-friendly CMS for rapidly developing end-user-customizable web applications and websites.
When your client needs a "Team" page with editable team members...
When your client needs an "FAQs" page with editable questions and answers...
When your client needs "Products" pages with editable products...
When your client needs a blog and WordPress sucks...
...Angel is the answer.
Build a CMS module in minutes for any customizable content needs simply by creating a database
table and defining some variables to let the CMS know how to present each column to the user. For
instance: if you define a column named html with a "pretty name" of "Content" and a type of
wysiwyg, a "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" editor will be used to edit that column in the
administrative panel like so:
Each column has its own change log, so you can easily see who made a change, when they made it, and exactly what they altered:
The CMS leverages only robust, modern, well-written packages to accomplish its functionality. Angel uses:
- Laravel 5.4 as its foundation.
- Forms & HTML 5.4 by the Laravel Collective for its form building utilities.
- Laravel Debugbar by barryvdh, an excellent debugging tool.
- Foundation for Sites 6.3 as the admin panel Sass framework and as the default front-end Sass framework (each compiled separately for maximum customizability).
- FontAwesome for icons.
- Travis CI for automated, continuous integration testing.
The demo includes a demonstration of how to create your own custom modules in minutes!
Requirements:
- PHP >= 5.6.4
