With each passing day we see new technological advancements to build better web, mobile, and social media apps. Ask any web application development company or a PHP developer, they would agree that they love to see new updates for their tools. It may be a bit difficult to keep up with fast moving web application development industry. Yet, it is an industry norm to quickly grab the technological shift and changes in the web application development industry.

Learning a new web app development tool/language/framework, is always as entertaining as developing new web apps. According to a report, PHP is the most popular open-source web application development tool in the USA, which enables web app developers to develop robust websites with sophisticated database integration.

The configuration capabilities of PHP enables developers to easily integrate it with the relative development frameworks like CakePHP, Cache PHP, Drupal, Joomla, Magenta, and many more.

In this post, I will discuss why a web application development company and PHP developers should utilize the Cake PHP framework to develop interactive, engaging, and addictive web applications quickly and easily.

First of all, CakePHP is an open-source, agile web app development framework. Despite its sophisticated technology, it is powerful enough to enable developers to fill-in the gap left by any external code. It gives an organized code structure where the web application development companies and their developers just need to embed a few new lines to easily develop a full-fledged website or application.

CakePHP is a predecessor of PHP, which adds a simple, intuitive, and a clean look to the web apps, which minimizes maintenance requirements substantially. By using CakePHP for web application development, web app development companies can save a lot of time and resources. It also helps in developing a SEO (search engine optimization) friendly website.

The web application development companies use CakePHP for developing more user friendly websites. Creating user-friendly navigation is another key feature of CakePHp. Moreover, the framework offers an easily manageable administration panel, which is a another major requirement of any business maintaining their website.

Scalability is a major factor for any business in today's competitive environment where every business wants to grow and expand its reach to mobile devices and tablets. Web application development performed with CakePHP framework helps with it too, as apps and websites are extremely flexible and scalable.

The key features that most PHP web app development companies and indie PHP developers love while working with CakePHP are:

  • It is compatible with PHP 4 and PHP 5 versions
  • Seamless Code Generation
  • Simple MVC Architecture
