Welcome
Welcome to the P1 Developer Program!
Introduction
This guide will cover every aspect of the development workflow in use with the BaseCMS Website Framework. Whether you are a novice or experienced developer, by the end of this guide you should be able to make modifications to and create new features for your website. Ready to get started?
Requirements
In addition to the tools and utilities used in this guide, a GitHub account is required to contribute & publish changes. If you'd just like to follow along with the guide for now, you don't have to create an account yet.
Not all tools are created equal! In this guide, we'll be showing examples using our preferred tools, such as IDE (VSCode), Git client (GitHub Desktop), or OS (MacOS). However, the BaseCMS Website Framework is platform- and tool-agnostic, so you can feel free to use anything you're comfortable with. You can find a selective list of common alternatives in the tools & utilities section.
Heads-up! When there's a platform- or tool-specific feature we're explaining, we'll call it out like this.
Getting help
Even the most experienced developer needs help sometimes. You can find code samples and advanced use cases in the left nav. If you still can't figure something out, you can submit an issue on the project page, or reach out to us via email at support@parameter1.com.
