I installed wordpress in a sub-folder and then used the laravel package Corcel to load the page content into the laravel app. Its not too difficult and saves you trying to replicate the functionality of their editor and media library

A lil' Content Mgmt in a larger Laravel app
I've got a project where around 90% of the stuff on the web pages are UI for the web application, and I'm totally comfortable requiring a code push to update those pages. But, I've not some pure content pages on the site that I'd like to empower non-developers to update as needed. About Us, FAQs, some marketing pages, etc. And it's mostly text.
Are there any out-of-the-box CMS tools that folks would recommend for this use case? A cloud service would be ideal, but I'm OK with building out and hosting it myself if it's straight-forward enough.
The amount of content is so small, that I feel like I'm right on the threshold of building it myself, within the existing Laravel application, but if there's something I could spin-up in a day or two, and it cost less than $100 a month, that could be worth it.

@Snapey This is interesting and it seems to be close to what I'm looking for. My hesitation is adding a WordPress dependency to this project. That feels a little heavy handed. I don't suppose there's any chance the Corcel package works with a WordPress cloud hosted setup?

@Snapey do you have any writeup or tutorial on how you set this up?

@bobclewell I doubt you could use cloud base because you need access to the database. In my case Laravel and wordpress share the database, which also means you can use the wordpress user management for authentication.
