How to Build an OctoberCMS Theme

October CMS is the new star in the sky of CMSes. Built on top of Laravel, it promises joyful coding and a back to basics approach. Read our introduction here and find out how to build plugins for it here. In this article, we’re going to see how we can build a theme.

What We Are Going to Build

• Default page layout


• About page


• Home page


• Posts page


• Categories page
