Developer Guide

Extensibility is one of the most important features of any software. Automad can be extended through two main types of packages: themes and extensions. Automad's template language makes it accessible for beginners to develop custom themes, while PHP can be used to create extensions of any complexity.

Themes are an essential part of any content management system. They define how your content is presented to your website's visitors. Automad's flexible and intuitive template language makes it easy for inexperienced developers and beginners to create themes and templates. If you're an experienced PHP developer who needs more advanced features, you can also develop templates using plain PHP.
