Twill for custom content admin panels
Nova and Filament generate CRUD interfaces for data management. Twill builds content management admin panels with block editors, media libraries, and publishing workflows. Traditional CMSs like WordPress bundle frontend and backend together. Twill provides the admin interface while you control the frontend—Blade templates, headless APIs, or decoupled SPAs. We build Twill admin panels with custom blocks, structured workflows, and Laravel integration.
Our capabilities include:
- Custom Twill admin panel development
- Block editor configuration & custom blocks
- Media library setup & image optimization
- Content versioning & publishing workflows
- Multilingual content management
- Headless CMS API integration

Tools & technologies for Twill development
Module Configuration & Scaffolding
We scaffold Twill modules for content types, defining fields, relationships, and admin panel configurations.
- Artisan Module Generation – Use Twill’s CLI to scaffold new modules with models, repositories, controllers, and views, generating all necessary files for managing a content type.
- Model Configuration & Traits – Add Twill traits to Eloquent models enabling content management features like media attachments, translations, slugs, and publishing controls through simple PHP attributes.
- Field Definition & Form Builder – Define admin form fields using Twill’s form builder—text inputs, WYSIWYG editors, select dropdowns, file uploads, repeaters—configuring content structure in repository classes.
- Relationship Management – Configure relationships between modules using browser fields, allowing editors to select related content, create many-to-many connections, or build nested content hierarchies.
- Repository Customization – Override repository methods to customize data handling, implement custom queries, add business logic to save operations, or modify content retrieval before rendering.
- Admin Panel Navigation – Configure sidebar navigation, group modules into sections, set permissions per module, and customize the admin dashboard layout for content editor workflows.
Block Editor Development
Our team builds custom Vue block components and configures the block editor for structured content authoring.
- Predefined Block Library – Configure which blocks editors can use per module—text blocks, images, quotes, videos, embeds—controlling available content components to maintain consistent layouts.
- Custom Vue Block Components – Build custom blocks using Vue.js for specialized content like data tables, pricing cards, testimonials, or interactive elements that match your application’s design system.
- Block Field Configuration – Define fields within blocks using Twill’s field types—text, images, relationships, repeaters—creating structured content blocks with validation and conditional logic.
- Block Repeaters & Nesting – Allow blocks to contain other blocks, creating complex nested content structures like accordions containing image galleries or tabs with multiple content types.
- Block Validation Rules – Apply Laravel validation to block fields ensuring content meets requirements—required images, character limits, valid URLs—before editors can save or publish.
- Block Preview Rendering – Implement custom preview templates showing editors how blocks will appear on the frontend, providing visual feedback during content creation in the admin panel.
Media Library & Asset Management
We configure Twill’s media library with cloud storage, image optimization through Imgix or Glide, and smart cropping.
- Cloud Storage Integration – Configure AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, or other cloud services for media storage, handling uploads, retrieval, and serving assets from scalable infrastructure.
- Image Optimization Services – Integrate Imgix for on-the-fly image manipulation or use Twill’s built-in Glide integration for responsive image generation, cropping, and format conversion.
- Smart Cropping & Focal Points – Enable editors to set focal points on images ensuring important content remains visible across different crop ratios and responsive breakpoints.
- Media Tagging & Organization – Implement tagging systems and folder structures for organizing large media libraries, making it easy for editors to find and reuse assets.
- Batch Upload & Processing – Configure bulk upload capabilities with automatic processing, metadata extraction, and thumbnail generation for efficient media management workflows.
- File Type & Size Restrictions – Set validation rules for allowed file types, maximum sizes, and dimension requirements, preventing editors from uploading incompatible or oversized assets.
Content Publishing & Versioning
Curotec implements publishing workflows with content versioning, revision history, and scheduled publication capabilities.
- Draft & Published States – Configure content states allowing editors to save drafts, preview unpublished changes, and control when content goes live without affecting the public-facing site.
- Revision History & Rollback – Track all content changes with automatic revision history, compare versions side-by-side, and restore previous content states when needed for editorial control.
- Scheduled Publishing – Set publication dates and times for content to go live automatically, scheduling campaigns, announcements, or time-sensitive updates without manual intervention.
- Content Preview URLs – Generate preview links for unpublished content, allowing stakeholders to review and approve changes before publication without accessing the admin panel.
- Editorial Workflows & Approval – Implement custom approval processes where content requires review by senior editors or managers before publication, maintaining quality control standards.
- Content Archiving & Unpublishing – Archive outdated content without deletion, maintain historical records, and unpublish content temporarily while preserving revision history and associated media.
Multilingual Content Configuration
We set up multilingual support with independent field translations, language-specific publishing, and content synchronization.
- Field-Level Translation Setup – Configure which fields require translation versus sharing across languages, allowing some content like product IDs to remain consistent while descriptions translate independently.
- Language Switching Interface – Implement language tabs in the admin panel letting editors switch between languages while editing, viewing translation progress, and managing content per locale.
- Independent Publishing Per Language – Publish content in one language while keeping others as drafts, allowing translations to go live independently based on localization team schedules.
- Translation Fallback Logic – Configure fallback behavior when translations are missing, defaulting to primary language content or displaying placeholder text until translations are completed.
- Language-Specific Media – Allow different images, videos, or documents per language when culturally appropriate content varies by region, while sharing media when content is universal.
- Bulk Translation Management – Provide tools for exporting content for translation services and importing translated content back, streamlining workflows with external localization teams.
Headless API Development
Our developers build Laravel APIs exposing Twill content to decoupled frontends with authentication and field serialization.
- RESTful API Endpoints – Build Laravel API routes exposing Twill content as JSON, configuring endpoints for collections, individual entries, and filtered queries with pagination support.
- GraphQL API Implementation – Implement GraphQL endpoints allowing frontend applications to request specific fields and nested relationships, reducing over-fetching and optimizing data transfer.
- Content Serialization & Transformers – Create API resource classes transforming Twill models into API responses, controlling which fields appear, formatting dates, and including relationships selectively.
- API Authentication & Security – Implement Laravel Sanctum or Passport for API authentication, protecting content endpoints and controlling which applications can access your Twill content.
- Block Content API Rendering – Serialize Twill’s block editor content into structured JSON that frontend frameworks can consume, maintaining content structure for client-side rendering.
- Webhook & Cache Invalidation – Set up webhooks notifying frontend applications when content changes, triggering static site rebuilds or cache invalidation for updated content delivery.
FAQs about Laravel Twill development
When should we use Twill instead of Statamic?
Use Twill when building custom Laravel applications requiring bespoke admin panels with content management. Twill is a toolkit—you build your own CMS structure. Statamic is a complete CMS with opinions about content organization. Choose Twill for maximum flexibility; choose Statamic when you want an established CMS pattern.
How does Twill differ from Nova or Filament?
Nova and Filament generate admin panels for data management—CRUD operations on database records. Twill focuses on content management—block editors, media libraries, publishing workflows. Use Nova/Filament for managing users, orders, or structured data. Use Twill for managing articles, pages, or rich content.
Can you build headless CMS with Twill?
Yes. Twill provides a content management admin panel while you build Laravel APIs to expose content to React, Vue, Next.js, or mobile apps. Editors use Twill’s block editor and media library, while your frontend accesses structured content via authenticated API endpoints.
What's the learning curve for our team?
Laravel developers can work with Twill using familiar PHP, Blade, and Eloquent patterns. Custom block development requires Vue.js knowledge. Content editors find Twill’s interface intuitive—the block editor and media library work like modern CMS tools without technical complexity.
Can you add Twill to our existing Laravel app?
Yes. Twill installs as a Composer package into existing Laravel applications. We configure modules for your content types, integrate with your authentication system, and build admin panels alongside your existing application logic without restructuring your codebase.
Can our team maintain Twill after you build it?
Laravel developers can maintain Twill modules, add content types, and modify admin configurations without specialized training. Custom Vue blocks or complex repository logic may require deeper Twill knowledge. We document customizations and provide ongoing development support as needed.
