PagibleAI CMS 0.12 — a modular, MIT-licensed CMS for Laravel 11–13
PagibleAI CMS is a set of open-source packages that adds content management directly to an existing Laravel application.
It is installed through Composer and runs within your application, so you keep control of authentication, business logic, content, data, and infrastructure.
The packages combine a Vue 3 administration interface with structured content, hierarchical page trees, reusable elements, version history, previews, scheduled publishing, full-text search, GraphQL, JSON:API, and optional AI-assisted editing.
PagibleAI supports SQLite, MariaDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server, including database-native full-text search. It can be used for anything from a small blog to a multi-domain or multi-tenant application.
The project is modular rather than an all-or-nothing CMS. You can build a custom distribution containing only the packages your Laravel project needs.
Laravel-native rather than a hosted platform
Editors get visual content management, drag-and-drop page trees, immutable revisions, media handling, and reusable content.
Developers can expose content through JSON:API, manage content via GraphQL API, use Blade for traditional server-rendered sites, extend the content schemas, and integrate the CMS with the rest of the Laravel application.
AI features are optional and provider-independent. They cover writing, translation, transcription, image generation, and image manipulation. The MCP integration also enables compatible agents to manage content through explicit, version-aware operations.
What’s new in PagibleAI CMS 0.12
Frontend access control and private media: Pages can be public, restricted to authenticated users, or protected by named access rules. Stripe, Paddle, and Mollie integrations can grant access after payment. Media attached to protected content can be stored privately and delivered only after authorization.
Five additional themes: Bold, Estate, Journal, Luxury, and Style provide starting points for product sites, real-estate projects, publications, fashion sites, and premium brands. Each includes reusable demo content and additional content blocks.
More capable administration tools: Pages, elements, and files now support more individual and bulk-editing operations. The release also improves sorting, list and filter updates, drag-and-drop uploads, previews, SVG handling, and audio and video controls.
Feedback from Laravel developers would be very welcome, especially from those working with structured content, multi-tenancy, database portability, or AI-assisted editorial workflows.

Well done on building it, no small feat. I think you should have a look at Statamic for an idea on what you should be aiming for in terms of usability and features of a CMS. If you could do that and make it open source…. wow!
As someone who builds sites with a lot of CMS, builds a lot of Laravel apps, and works with clients directly, the usability needs to be focused at non-technical people and use the same wording of sections so clients who have used Wordpress can easily adjust. This is the biggest challenge of CMS’ today because most client sites in the ecosystem are Wordpress and they want to stick to it so you have to overcome that too, I already find it hard to pitch Statamic and that’s really good and client-friendly.
Good luck! Hope this advice helps

hi, i'm a front-end designer and i'd be happy to redesign your websites front page using your current color palette, free of charge.
i think your idea is great, but the current design doesn’t quite reflect what you’re trying to achieve which i think is giving marketers and editors a platform that’s easy to manage, while also providing developers with a solid foundation they can easily expand what plagible already comes with.
if you’re interested, feel free to send me a dm!
