Our Technology Framework

We develop high-performance technology solutions that are secure, agile, and fast. We understand the restrictions of out-of-the-box solutions and the challenges of working with technology providers you wish to leave. For this reason, we develop our websites, content management systems, SAAS, and e-commerce solutions on an open-source framework that is non-proprietary. By owning your code, you are free from perpetual license fees, have the option for external development, and can relocate your site if needed. 

To help you better understand the technologies we use to create your custom solutions, here is some insight on the Yii web development framework and LEMP stack platform.   

Yii website development framework

Yii pronounced as “Yee” means “simple and evolutionary” in Chinese. True to its name, Yii’s simple open-source PHP framework is ideal for rapidly building modern, custom, and secure web applications. Yii allows us the freedom and flexibility to create unique websites and custom technology solutions that meet our client’s individual business needs.

We enjoy Yii because of its agility – and our clients like it because we can build unique custom solutions.  

LEMP stack platform

LEMP, an acronym for Linux (L), Nginx (E), MySQL (M), and PHP (P), is the open-source bundle or ‘stack’ of software that we use to run our web applications. The LEMP platform works seamlessly with our Yii development framework to deliver high-performance, non-proprietary apps. As a time-tested software stack, LEMP is used for many popular web applications, like WordPress. 

Each software component of the LEMP stack contributes essential capabilities to the platform.  

  1. Linux for the operating system 
  2. Nginx for the web server
  3. MySQL acts as the database layer 
  4. PHP is used for the programming language/scripting layer

We enjoy building applications on the LEMP stack because of its scalability, reliability, flexibility, and secure architecture.
