> **Here's a complete video tutorial guide for getting started quickly [AddChat Codeigniter Academy](https://classiebit.com/academy/addchat-codeigniter/getting-started) ✌️**
---
## Overview
**Addchat Lite** is a chat widget that you can integrate into an existing or a fresh Codeigniter website. AddChat works like a standalone widget and fulfills all your business-related needs like -

---
> **AddChat never modifies your existing database tables or records. And it never breaks down any of your website functionality.**
---
> **AddChat is fully tested and ready to be used in production websites.**
---
## Technical Specification
AddChat is very light, high performance, scalable and secure.
1. AddChat front-end built with **VueJs**, which is purely API based web-app.
2. AddChat back-end (API) built with **Codeigniter**
- **AddChat Codeigniter** version comes with an installer, which auto-install AddChat in an existing or a fresh Codeigniter website
## User Interface & Design
AddChat is designed in **CSS Flexbox** and **Sass**. Let's see what's so special about **CSS Flexbox** and why we used it.
1. AddChat is a CSS Framework Independent. Means, no matter in which CSS Framework your website is in, it neither affects the website CSS nor gets affected by it.
- [Bootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com/)
- [Bulma](https://bulma.io/)
- [Materializecss](https://materializecss.com/)
- [Semantic UI](https://semantic-ui.com/)
- [UIKit](https://getuikit.com/)
- [Zurb Foundation](https://foundation.zurb.com/)
or any other...
2. AddChat CSS is completely encapsulated (wrapped in AddChat wrapper with `#addchat-bot .c-` prefix).
- Hence, it never override your website CSS nor inherits from it.
- AddChat UI is extra-responsive. Optimized for **extra-small** devices to large **4K desktops** -
* Small phones
* Android Phones
* iPhones
* iPad & iPad Pro0
* Small-Medium Size Laptops
* Large Desktops
3. We've used the popular **NPM** package `auto-prefixer` to make the AddChat UI design same across all types of browsers e.g `Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge` etc
## Multi-regional
AddChat is compatible with all languages and timezones. AddChat auto adapts and adjust website's default timezone and language. Please refer to the Language section for more info about **adding a new language** in [AddChat Codeigniter](https://addchat-docs.classiebit.com/docs/1.0/admin/multi-language-codeigniter)
---
> **AddChat never breaks any of your website functionality, even if something went wrong with AddChat, there are `fallback modes` for every worst-case scenario.**
