Features
Code-first
Payload is a CMS that has been designed for developers from the ground up to deliver them what they need to build great digital products. If you know JavaScript, you know Payload. It's a code-first CMS, which allows us to do a lot of things right:
Quick Start
Before beginning to work with Payload, make sure you have all of the required software.
From there, the easiest way to get started with Payload is to use the create-payload-app
package:
npx create-payload-app
Alternatively, it only takes about five minutes to create an app from scratch.
Documentation
Check out the Payload website to find in-depth documentation for everything that Payload offers.
