SocialApparatus — powered by LaravelDesign
The CMS Laravel has been missing.
LaravelDesign is a full content management system for Laravel 12 with a Wix-style visual page builder, Filament admin, and zero compromises on craft. This site is built with it. Every page you see, every menu, every post — written, laid out, and served by the package.
What makes it different.
Visual builder that isn't a toy.
Drag hero sections, pricing tables, feature grids. Powered by GrapesJS. Every block is editable inline. Save, preview, ship.
Classic editor when you want it.
Markdown-free rich text for blog posts and long-form. Toggle between modes on any page.
Six resources, zero bloat.
Posts, Pages, Categories, Tags, Menus, Media. Filament 3 admin. That's it. No plugin bazaar to maintain.
Composer-native.
One require, one install command, one panel provider line. Auto-discovery, migrations, storage link, default menus.
Eighteen years of shipping community software.
Shane Barron has been shipping deployable PHP for communities since 2008. ElggDesign, 40+ tiered themes. SocialApparatus, a social framework. Bootstrap 4.1 for Elgg, still live with 2,817 installs. LaravelDesign is the same instinct, finally meeting the right stack.
