Installation

1. Add the package to your Concrete project with Composer:

2. Install the package in the Concrete CMS dashboard or via the package manager workflow.

3. Once enabled, the package will automatically create the dashboard pages, blocks, attributes, and configuration.

Development notes

This package is intentionally opinionated and is meant to provide a shared baseline for multiple Concrete CMS sites. It centralises commonly reused configuration, block patterns, and attribute definitions so projects can start from a predictable, production-friendly standard.
