Boilerplate V2

The "PHP Microsite Boilerplate" is a PHP framework to create simple, yet strongly functional, fast, and secure websites on basically every environment.
Most frameworks and even boilerplates require an exhausting setup process, where you need to install multiple dependencies. This leads to a huge overhead of code, which you often do not need. All of those complexity is also a potential risk for your website. Furthermore, it is often not possible to use most solutions, if you need to deploy it on the cheapest shared hosting plan.
This framework/template is different and right for you, if...
  • You need to build a rather small, but feature-rich website.
  • You choose PHP, because you want to do server-side scripting, while PHP is also maybe the only language, that runs on basically all hosting options.
  • You build this thing on your own or with a maximum of 1 other person. This makes best practice, but complex code structure more of an unnecessary overhead than a helpful concept.
  • You need to get it done fast, while you do not want to make compromises regarding security or performance.
