Larapen - Modular CMS & Business Platform

Larapen is a modular CMS and business platform built with Laravel. Out of the box, you get everything you need to launch a professional website: a flexible page builder, the responsive Default theme, 6 free add-ons, 30 languages, AI writing tools and a modern admin panel. And when your project grows, Larapen grows with it through 30+ premium add-ons and 5 premium themes, sold separately.

Everything You Need, Right in the Core

The core application is a complete website platform on its own, not a stripped-down starter. Build your pages, organize your navigation, reach an international audience and manage your team from a single, polished admin panel.

• Page Builder: Compose any page from 26 ready-made section types (hero, features, gallery, video, carousel, tabs, timeline, metrics, countdown, map, call to action and more), without writing a single line of code.
• Menus & Navigation: Database-driven header and footer menus with dropdowns, linking to your pages, custom URLs or anchors.
• 30 Languages: 30 languages included, right-to-left support (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu), translatable content and localized URLs.
• SEO Tools: Per-page meta tags, XML sitemaps, robots.txt, hreflang tags and a redirects manager that protects your rankings when URLs change.
• AI Writing Assistant: Generate and improve page content and contact replies with the Laravel AI SDK (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini and more), guided by your own AI instructions.
• Users & Permissions: User management with roles and permissions, activity logs, and bans to keep unwanted visitors out.
• Media Library: A central library for all your images and files, with automatic image resizing on upload.
• Contact Messages: A built-in contact form with a messages inbox, so you can answer visitors directly from the admin panel.
• One-Click Updates: Install new versions from the admin panel with the built-in updater.

6 Free Add-ons Included

Larapen ships with 6 add-ons at no extra cost, ready to showcase your business from day one:

• Portfolio: Show off your work with categories, galleries, videos and before/after comparisons.
• Team: Introduce your team members with categories, social links and individual profile pages.
• Pricing: Publish your plans with feature lists, categories and comparison tables.
• FAQ: Answer common questions with categorized, accordion-style FAQs.
• Partners: Display partner and client logos with categories and flexible display options.
• Testimonials: Build trust by featuring customer testimonials on any page.

The Default Theme, Ready to Launch

The included Default theme delivers a clean, modern and professional design with a built-in light and dark mode. Built with Bootstrap, fully responsive and accessible, it beautifully styles the core pages, the 6 free add-ons and every premium add-on, so your website looks polished from the very first visit.

Grow Further with Premium Add-ons and Themes

Need more? Turn your website into a complete business platform with 30+ premium add-ons, sold separately: Blog, Shop, Booking, Forum, HelpDesk, Newsletter, Events, Careers, Billing, POS, payment gateways such as Stripe, PayPal, Paddle and MTN MoMo, and many more. Want a different look? 5 premium themes (Creative, Elegant, Minimalist, Olive and Studio), also sold separately, each bring their own visual identity. Add them whenever you are ready: they integrate seamlessly with your existing content and can be removed at any time without affecting the core.

Built for Performance, Designed for Growth

• Theme System: Multiple premium themes with distinct visual identities. Each theme fully overrides core and add-on views, giving you a completely unique look for every project.

• Laravel Foundation: Built on the latest Laravel with PHP 8.3+. Typed properties, enums, modern patterns, and strict PSR-12 coding standards throughout the entire codebase.
• AI Integration: Powered by the Laravel AI SDK for intelligent content generation, smart search, and AI-powered admin tools. Support for Anthropic, OpenAI, and Gemini providers, and more.
