+# Creating a custom platform
+
+## Why a custom platform?
+
+As the needs of your project grow, they might extend beyond of what the default Shoutem platform offers.
+
+In case you need to add another Native dependency to your project, or use a custom Android or iOS configuration, or anything else not covered in the ["Modifying Native Project" tutorial](https://shoutem.github.io/docs/extensions/tutorials/modifying-native-project) - you can do it by creating a custom platform for your project.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+You'll need to install the [Shoutem CLI](https://shoutem.github.io/docs/extensions/reference/cli), and [create a Shoutem developer account](https://builder.shoutem.com/register).
+
+Once you've done that, you can continue by reading about the [platform-related CLI commands](https://shoutem.github.io/docs/extensions/reference/cli#shoutem-platform-create---url).
+
+If you need help or you need more information about custom platforms, you can contact us via our [main website](https://new.shoutem.com/about/contact-us/).
