The Whip framework
Whip is an extremely fast, flexible and scalable PHP framework extensible through an open modular plugin architecture.
Working Happily In PHP
We are developers at heart and love working in PHP. It is a fantastic language that provides great flexibility and speed of development when we are executing our and our clients' ideas.
Whip is the solid foundation on which we build our websites.
Yet another PHP framework?
There are many PHP frameworks out there, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. We have tried many and there are a few we would recommend for your next web development project.
But sometimes a framework gets in your way. It forces you into a pattern or makes you spend hours undoing its default behaviour. Whip does not do that. Using Whip, literally everything is optional: The database layer, the template renderer, the MVC structure and anything else you can think of.
Loading only the components required by the developer, as needed, makes The Whip framework very lean and extremely fast. Our primary focus is on performance where possible. The open module / plugin architecture allows for virtually limitless programming freedom and developer creativity while maintaining a strict separation of data, code and layout.
The structure of Whip is based on the model-view-controller (MVC) design pattern in that the three main components that make up most websites — Data, code (business logic) and layout — are individual entities and can reside on separate locations on the server.
Whip is open source
Version 3 of the Whip PHP framework is currently being developed. The source is available under the GNU General Public License (v3) on Github.
