RaccoonWP
=========

[](#raccoonwp)

**This is 2.11.0 release. If you find any issues let us know**

Raccoon is a modern architecture stack and a starter theme for [WordPress](https://wordpress.org/).

The stack is based on PHPComposer on the backend. Frontend build uses NodeJs and Webpack to bundle the files together for dev and production. This composition allows for quick and efficient development using the tools which are **state of the art in 2022.**

You should use it as your boilerplate/starter kit to obtain **optimal architecture with performance, extensibility and security** in mind.

Raccoon is best suited for fresh projects (but there is no problem in implementing it into existing ones with some effort).
