Why we build with the Yii Framework

What is the Yii Framework?
The Yii Framework is a comprehensive framework that facilitates the creation of websites and web applications. It acts like a sophisticated set of building blocks, allowing developers to construct complex, interactive sites quickly and reliably. This efficiency ensures all projects adhere to the highest quality standards.
Yii's straightforward structure aids our team of developers to create rich web apps in a robust and scalable way, boosting overall team productivity and project continuity.

Speed of development
The Yii Framework is to web development what a quality toolbox is to a builder. Think of it as easy-access tools: you can create higher quality end products faster.
It comes equipped with features that automate routine tasks such as security checks and data validation. This automation allows our developers to dedicate more time to crafting innovative features and enhancing the user experience, significantly speeding up the development process without sacrificing the quality of the end product.

Code quality and teamwork
The Yii Framework does more than streamline web development; it enforces a structured coding environment that standardises how code is written across projects. This uniformity is important for maintaining code quality, as it makes it easier for any developer, regardless of prior project involvement, to understand and contribute effectively.
This approach not only enhances our team's efficiency but also simplifies the process of onboarding new developers and reallocating resources among projects, ensuring smooth transitions and continuous progress.

Quality extensions and an active community
Yii is not just a tool but a resource-rich open-source framework supported by over 150,000 community members and enriched with more than 1,600 modules and extensions. This extensive pool of resources means developers can integrate proven solutions without developing them from scratch, significantly reducing development time and costs. The active Yii community also provides a reliable support network for troubleshooting and evolving the framework, which helps keep your projects on the cutting edge of technology.

Performance! Yii is super fast.
Applications built using the Yii Framework are not just robust; they are designed to outperform those developed with other popular frameworks such as CakePHP, Symfony, CodeIgniter, and Zend in terms of speed. This performance efficiency is critical for businesses that rely on speed and responsiveness to provide a seamless user experience. By choosing Yii, companies can ensure their applications are not only powerful but also operate faster and more efficiently.

What Our Clients Say
Scorchsoft helped us take our idea for an app and make it a reality. Everything from the planning meeting to decide what we really needed to the project management and execution was great. It was delivered on time - early in fact - and on budget. Highly recommend.
Rebecca PalserDragonfly IntelligenceScorchsoft is a brilliant company with fantastic knowledge of the mobile app industry. From the project management to the development team, they have been the perfect candidate for our project, and we can't thank them enough!
Lance ChorltonGapped OnlineWe're really pleased with the work Scorchsoft has done in developing our web portal! They have been accurate with timelines and budget, delivering a solid product that allows us to monitor and manage patients remotely while they use our novel medical device at-home. The "plan - design - build" approach has worked well and saved us time in the long-run by catching requirements and issues early.
Daniel GreenSensTrainI'm really pleased with how my app came out, it was exactly what I was looking for. The team at Scorchsoft are great at what they do and made the whole process as simple and easy as possible. Being someone who is not very tech savvy the set up and back end operations were done in a great easy to use manner even for myself which makes using my app stress free. Thanks to all the team!
Ruben CarrollMosaic MasterpiecesThe new Flourish Education website has already removed a lot of manual processes, freeing up both schools, candidates and internal employees time. We are delighted with the look and feel which is clean, professional and more engaging. We are also pleased with the decision to have an HD video background on the homepage, and building immediate trust with our clients by giving them a taste of what it looks like in the Flourish Education offices.
James HancocksMarketing Manager, Flourish Education I can't believe how quickly we started to see results with this project. Scorchsoft provided us with graphic-designed mockups of how the app would look once built, and we were able to sell the product for use by our first customer before the product was finished. Since launching in March, we have secured a major television network as a client who now uses Image Approvals to manage the talent approval process for their productions.
