What is Melis Platform? ​

Melis Platform is an open-source CMS and application platform built on Laminas (the successor to Zend Framework / ZF2). It ships a modular backoffice for managing sites, pages, e-commerce, content and more — and is designed to be extended with your own modules and tools.

This documentation targets developers: from first install through architecture, building sites and tools, integrating commerce, adding AI capabilities, and the full module API reference. For the product, visit melisplatform.com.
