Why Laravel?
Customers include Bitpanda, BBC, Pfizer, and FedEX.
Laravel was developed by Taylor Otwell as a substitute for the PHP-based CodeIgniterframework, which had limited authentication functionality. Laravel saves developers time and helps to mitigate the amount of planning required when developing an entire website from scratch.
Laravel promotes syntactic sugar, which describes the use of a syntax that makes programming languages easier to read or to express. Web developers love its “expressive, elegant syntax.”
Fort Knox Security
Laravel uses a Bcrypt hashing algorithm. This means it never saves any passwords in the database, securing your customers’ data in the event of a breach. You can also easily configure advanced security features, like bulletproof authentication and restricted access.
Is Laravel a CMS?
Laravel is not a CMS. A CMS is built on top of a framework. Laravel is a framework that can be used to build full-stack apps, like a CMS or website, that need a backend to drive functionality, for example creating accounts, managing products and performing transactions. Laravel may also be integrated with existing CMSs.
