If you have a symfony based website and would like to find out about our Symfony development services, contact us today on 0203 286 8478.

At Virvo, we adopted and started using Symfony for web development back in 2006, when it was still in beta. Our years of experience, and the privilege of watching Symfony evolve over the years, to become a leading PHP development tool, means we are one of the leading companies using Symfony for web development.
Although Symfony has a strong feature set, it also has a high learning curve – meaning in-house symfony development is often not cost efficient. The number of bugs and maintenance issues caused by inexperienced symfony developers has costs businesses significant amounts of time and money. Don’t risk your website or business – go with a proven company with extensive symfony experience, to reduce your time-to-market and lower your on-going maintenance costs.

If you have a website built with Symfony, and need an expert to maintain or develop new features, get in touch with us today. We have been providing cost effective Symfony development services for years, and will be happy to provide a free consultation to assess your requirements – call us today on 0203 286 8478.

Opensource Frameworks or Opensource Web Application Frameworks are libraries of classes and other code which is intended to assist in the development of websites, web applications and web services. The idea is that a framework will reduce the overheads associated with performing common development activities including database access, caching, AJAX, configuration set-up, session management, etc.

The short answer is – for most complex web applications – a framework will assist in Rapid Application Development by providing a skeleton structure to start with. Many of the common coding practices are already catered for, so the extra time often wasted on the initial set-up of an application can be avoided.

At Virvo we believe that frameworks can greatly increase the return on investment for most web applications. Different opensource frameworks provide various advantages and disadvantages, meaning choosing the right framework for the project is a critical factor for long term success. Our experience and knowledge of various frameworks in different languages gives us a key advantage in advising our clients and partners. We specialize in the following opensource frameworks:

PHP Frameworks

• Symfony
• Zend Framework
• CakePHP
• CodeIgniter
• Typo3
• Solar

Ruby Frameworks
