Re: Where are the sites?

What a pretty site shows is good graphic skills and CSS, neither of which have anything material to do with CakePHP, which is a 'scaffolding' language - for want of a better expression. PHP just supplies the framework that you can drape with a good looking presentation layer. Without a decent back end the pretty site will not work very well. You could say judging the mechanics of a site by focussing on how good it looks is like putting a vacuum cleaner motor inside a Ferrari body, no?

You need to showcase the goods. That's all I am saying.

Front end is what people see, they do not see requests, database optimization, sure good code but people do not see that.

They see a website and say well that is nice. Not hum I wonder if it's cached or how mant HTTP requests.

 

Does that make sense?

 

I will put it out there I love Cake, no doubt about it. Fantastic framework but you still need a front end visual. Check out my work! I have worked for some big names. And saying well code is everything is wrong. You need to back up the code with visuals people see!

A pretty looking site, has very little to do with the backend.

Just a curiosity question.

 

So many people are part of the Cake group yet we never see any actual work.

 

No hey check out my site I did this, very little showcase.

 

Sure on the Cake home page there are 5 sites which have been there for a year. Really? And they suck ass! Ni real design just half assed crap!

I took a look at cakeDc site and what a joke!

Ugliest site ever who did that?

 

Sure code all you li9ke but you still need to appeal to the end user. Hello 1997 html my first web page look. Only thing missing is a animated gif!.........

 

 

 

 

For such a great framework why is there a lack luster amount of sites?
