# Welcome to Hollow Peak

An all-in-one business platform and website builder, built on Laravel and hosted entirely on your own server.

Hollow Peak combines four things most businesses buy separately — a website with a page builder, an internal workspace for running a team, a client and enquiry system, and a complete online store — into one Laravel application with one set of users, roles and permissions.

It is self-hosted. There is no subscription, no external service to sign up for, and no data leaves your server.

**Control** — Fine-grained permissions, an activity audit log, versioned settings with rollback, and 23 feature modules that can be switched off when you do not need them.

## A note on scope

Hollow Peak is deliberately one installation for one business. It is not multi-tenant, it is not a bookkeeping system, and it does not host itself — you supply the server.

Being clear about that is more useful than a longer list of claims. The Complete Feature List describes what is actually implemented.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://hollow-peak.gitbook.io/docs/welcome-to-hollow-peak.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
