Framework Development

Utilizing application frameworks to speed custom development, our programmers harness the power of mature frameworks to bring your custom web application to life.

Symfony Framework Development

Symfony is a MVC web application framework for PHP5 projects aimed at building robust applications in an enterprise context. Allowing for full control and agile development, Symfony focuses on applicative logic without losing time to endless configuration. Best of all, Symfony is entirely free of licensing costs.

Portal Labs has been developing for Symfony for over two years, starting with v0.6. We've worked on Symfony projects both large and small including our own subscription based digital download delivery service, Digital Product Delivery.

Ruby on Rails Development

Rails is a full-stack framework for developing database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Control pattern. From the Ajax in the view, to the request and response in the controller, to the domain model wrapping the database, Rails gives you a pure-Ruby development environment.

Our Ruby developers can quickly develop and deploy your custom applciations based on the Ruby on Rails MVC framework, or develop new features for your existing environment.

CMS / eCommerce Module Development

We develop custom modules and plug-ins for the most popular open-source CMS, Blog, and eCommerce platforms today. A few examples include custom subscription/account modules, FAQ plug-ins, and advanced document management tools for a range of sites and markets.

  • Drupal
  • Silverstripe CMS
  • Xaraya
  • XOOPS
  • Wordpress
  • TextPattern
  • osCommerce / Zen Cart
  • Magento Commerce
  • phpShop
  • OpenCart
