## Notes

Varbase is a Drupal distribution: Drupal core packaged with pre-configured modules and recipes, as a starting point for Drupal sites. A site is created with Composer from the `drupal/varbase_project` package and is administered through Drupal's own administration interface. Vardot maintains it, and the [developer guide](https://docs.varbase.vardot.com) documents installation and requirements.
