Adventures in cakephp

January 28th, 2009

I’m part way to achieving one of my 2009 goals - i’ve got a commercial project live using cake php 1.2. The site is Kudos Business technologies - a company who specialising in LED lighting and other technologies aimed at lowering environmental impact and saving money.

kudos business technoliogies - led lighting and other low impact technologies

The site has actually been refactored from a static HTML site, most of the pages are still static, but make use cake’s routing, page templates, layouts and elements. The news section is dynamic, and was very simple to put together, but i’m only half way there - currently I haven’t got any proper admin forms - that will have to be phase two! The learning curve so far has been very small - i’m looking forward to taking it a bit further.
