Silverstripe Essentials Website — Technical Reference

This skill covers Dynamic's Silverstripe Essentials product — a rapid-deployment CMS platform built on Silverstripe 5 with dynamic/recipe-silverstripe-essentials-website.

Recipe Architecture

Essentials sites use a layered recipe pattern:

silverstripe/recipe-cms (SS5 core)
  └─ dynamic/recipe-silverstripe-essentials-website (meta-recipe, ~34 packages)
      ├─ dynamic/silverstripe-base-site (~7.x) — Page types, base models
      ├─ dynamic/silverstripe-site-tools — Shared extensions/utilities
      ├─ dynamic/silverstripe-essentials-tools — Elements, extensions, services
      ├─ dynamic/silverstripe-essentials-theme — Base theme (Webpack)
      ├─ 16 dynamic/silverstripe-elemental-* modules
      └─ 3rd-party: elemental-grid, bootstrap-forms, social-metadata, blog, userforms
