Welcome to the PyroCMS docs. PyroCMS is a modular, theme-able, lightweight CMS built with the popular PHP framework CodeIgniter, and is brilliantly flexible and simple.

If you are brand new to PyroCMS, we recommend starting with the getting started docs in order to get PyroCMS up and running, and then taking a look through the PyroCMS basics to get the core concepts down.

After that, you will be able to skip around the docs to areas that interest you and be able to grasp the underlying concepts. If you get stuck, head over to the forums for help.
