Welcome
Welcome to the Altis documentation. This documentation provides a comprehensive guide to building sites on Altis.
Altis is designed in a modular way, and the documentation reflects this. Each module provides documentation on its configuration, features, and available internal APIs.
Altis in a Nutshell
Altis is a next-generation, enterprise-ready WordPress platform that raises the baseline for modern, large-scale projects.
What this means for you:
- Comes with batteries-included modules for things like authentication, content modeling, search, and performance – all replaceable or extensible as needed.
- Provides a consistent development experience with unified tooling, environments, and documentation to keep teams productive and aligned.
- Lets you focus on building features, not re-implementing core enterprise needs like caching, identity, or deployment pipelines.
- Encourages flexibility with structure — custom code and third-party integrations are welcome, but follow clear conventions and QA standards.
- Built for scalability, security, and reliability from day one, with practices and tooling proven across enterprise deployments.
