The two-minute version.
AI-powered CMS
A Laravel-based CMS and site builder with AI chat, visual builder, and a CLI. One platform, four doors.
The no-code/framework trap
Vela is both — so non-developers can edit and developers can extend. No separate tools, no copy-paste between them.
MIT, open source
The core is free to use, modify, and redistribute. No license-key servers, no feature gates.
Laravel 11 · PHP 8.1+
Built on the framework most PHP developers already know. No Vela DSL. No walled garden.
Provider-agnostic
OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini — swap from the admin. Bring your own keys. We don't train on your content.
v0.1 · early access
Public beta. Active development. Founding-member pricing for the hosted plan is open.

"Every site-building tool asks you to pick a side: the no-code tool or the framework. We're building Vela so you never have to pick. Chat it, click it, code it, or script it — same site, same source of truth."
— Mark Walker, Vela
