# Welcome

Welcome to the rafflex.io knowledge base. Everything you need to run your raffle site, organised into easy chunks. The fastest way to find anything is the search bar.

This knowledge base covers everything about running your raffle site, from your very first competition to advanced templating. There is a lot here, so the quickest way to get to what you need is to search for it.

**Search is the fastest way to find anything.** Click the search bar at the top of any page (or press the **/** key), then type what you are after, for example "instant wins", "payouts", or "Twig". You will jump straight to the right page in seconds.
