Laravel is described as "The PHP Framework For Web Artisans". It's meant to make creating, maintaining and editing a project with PHP a better, more efficient and fluid experience. The biggest problem is that installing Laravel can be a time and resource consuming process which can be extremely confusing and can be a massive turn-off for budding PHP developers. That's where Laragon comes in. A super-simple user interface for managing Laravel as well as almost anything else you can think of, Laragon is like WAMP/XAMPP built from the ground up for ease of use and perfect compatibility with Laravel.
