Development Framework - A Piece of Cake?

What is a Framework, and do I need one?

A development framework is a tool for the development community to re-use common elements of website design, they provide value-for-money by ensuring that your developers are working on what makes your site different, and not spending time re-writing those components that have been done many times before.

One of the most significant questions to ask any development company during the assessment process, is the development framework they are using. If the answer is 'none', or even worse, 'any that you need', you will find that you are missing out on expert skills through deep experience. Most customers have no need to make decisions on what framework they use, leaving the decision to the development company. Like all experts, we like to keep things simple, our questions for evaluation are the following:

How fast will it need to be?
How many concurrent requests will it need to serve?
If a change is required (and there are always changes),
how fast can these changes be produced?
How hard will it be to support? What if I have a problem?

Now... where is that Cake?

Before we started Shakuro, a few of us found a very promising framework - CakePHP. Built upon the PHP language, Cake has grown rapidly over the years into a fast, efficient, and highly scalable framework for rapid application development. It is with Cake that we build our sites, it is with Cake that we have grown up with, and it is with Cake that we make the world a happier place by producing high quality websites!

What is CakePHP, technically speaking?

Cake is a rapid development framework for PHP which uses commonly known design patterns like ActiveRecord, Association Data Mapping, Front Controller and MVC. Our primary goal is to provide a structured framework that enables PHP users at all levels to rapidly develop robust web applications, without any loss to flexibility.
