Hi, I work at prismic.io, if you like ACF and CPT plugins, I think you'll like prismic's custom types. Don't hesitate to ask for support if needed.

Well you are right about control but if you need an alternative for wordpress then AsgardCMS or OctoberCMS. I would take them over wordpress anyday. I prefer Asgard because its structure is not different from the default laravel structure and for OctoberCMS you would need to get an admin plugin for you to have an admin for your users.

Check LaraAmin. I hope it will help :)

Open source CRM for laravel which acts like CMS as well. Inspired by SugarCRM Philosophy over Data Types and Access.

Whether it is a closed System or Open. This helps your manage tables and data on the go. (Without typing any code :)) Just Commands
