A Content Management System (CMS) allows users to create and manage website content without needing to edit code directly.

A custom PHP or Laravel CMS might include features such as:

User accounts and authentication
Admin dashboards
Page and blog management
Categories and tags
Media and image management
SEO settings
Navigation menus
Contact forms
API integrations
Role and permission management

Building a CMS is also a great way to learn how different parts of a web application work together. It involves databases, authentication, routing, forms, validation, file uploads, security, and frontend development.
