do it right
With the right tools, anything can be built.
Sometimes the requirements for an application are simply too specific to be covered well by a standard software solution. The solution then is to build the software yourself from scratch. In our experience, the resulting application ends up being significantly more flexible and usually also performs better.
As a basis, however, it is advisable to choose a good framework that is suitable for the requirements. For us developers, it is the best tool to reach our goal quickly despite increased effort and to be able to react agilely to changes.
Frameworks as a basis – our selection
Ruby on Rails – fast and agile development
Ruby on Rails is an MVC framework created by David Heinemeier Hansson in 2004, with which web applications can be developed quickly and cleanly for any type of requirement. The framework provides developers with a large number of conventions during development to ensure clean development. At the same time, less configuration is required, which also speeds up the development process. A large number of code libraries, known as gems, relieve developers of additional tedious work.
Well-known web applications based on Ruby on Rails include Shopify, Grupon and Airbnb.
PHP on Skates
PHP on Skates wouldn’t actually exist if it hadn’t been for the requirement of some of our customers to use PHP. As there was no comparable framework like Ruby on Rails for PHP at the time (2013), our CEO decided to build his own MVC framework in PHP that was strongly based on the ideas of Ruby on Rails. It had to be lightweight (only a few PHP files) and at the same time enable rapid development. We still like to use it today for smaller PHP projects.
Websites with PHP on Skates are e.g. MeinGottesdienst.com or Amen.de
Laravel
A well-known and popular PHP framework that also draws on the ideas of Ruby on Rails.
