We got a high ROI from converting our custom PHP app to CakePHP . We love the continually expanding suite of utilities, plugins, and development patterns at our disposal!

From the simplest micro kiosk app to my highly complex gallery management app, CakePHP is the framework of choice . It allows modular development that makes sense, and it's architecturally solid and performant. Whatever you are building, CakePHP can help you get it done.

Having inherited this CakePHP project, I didn’t choose CakePHP so much as chose to continue using it . After seeing the power and functionality of the framework in use, it wasn’t a difficult choice to make.
