Macronimous Web Design

Cost cutting! – This is something everyone always appreciates, particularly during this slowdown. People want to spend small or no money, however things need to keep going! You need to cut down the development time, so you can save money, execute more projects and manage to reduce the cost of development. This is the time to indentify the ways to reach low cost solutions to customers.

Web development framework to open source developers are not new. There are many Frameworks are available for PHP, Python, Ruby and Java developers. With Frameworks, you get a project skleton, a structure and Libraries which you need to start. Moreover the structure forces you to keep the design and development seperated with MVC. MVC Stands for Model View Controller.

Choossing a Framework is based on the requirments, and the customer. There are simple to complex. I beleive every web development firm should invest time on evaluating few Frameworks in various technology (or atleast in PHP) to provide quick and low cost solutions to the customer. A single Framework may not allow you to fullfil all the features of various web development projects.

There are few popular frameworks widely adopted by developers, for Python there is Django and Pylons, Struts and Cocoon for Java, Ruby on Rails for Ruby, Several for PHP (Zend, Codeigniter, CakePHP etc) – See a very good comparions here.

While we use and recommed few like Codeigniter, CakePHP and Struts, Its better you try, evaluate and get insight on more than one Framework. This will help you/your developers to recommed the right framwork for the requirments and quick completion of the project. Please note reuablity and MVC are the prime factors for using Framworks, But indentifying the right framework which will meet your specification is even more important.

As a developer, you should be able to accomodate more projects if you reduce the development time. My team says you can save around 30%-40% of development time, this should be real good news to you and your clients, right?
