CakePHP
We here at Springthistle loooooove cake. We can have it and eat it, too!
CakePHP is a rapid development framework. It has a bit of a learning curve, but once you’ve mastered it, you can build powerful dynamic web applications, custom and to-order, much more rapidly than if you were doing so from scratch.

A Few Springthistle Cake Projects
Quo Vadis Planners
There is a behind-the-scenes admin panel for this website where the staff at Exaclair can manage all sorts of information on the site, all without needing to know any html, css, php or any other acronyms. They can easily manage planners, covers, and local retailers. They can view and approve customer reviews. They can run reports on product views and cover views. They can control and sort external links and even run reports on them. All of this management comes thanks to Cake and Springthistle Design. Read more about Quo Vadis Planners »
BJ Forms App
The B’nai Jeshurun congregation, located in New York City, has a massive membership and a very active community. They needed a way to publish events, collect registration information, take payment, and run statistics reports on event registration, attendance, and payment status. Using Cake, Springthistle built them an application that does everything they need and has the versatility and flexibility to be expanded upon in the future. Plus, it’s easy to use!

Rutgers Genetics Faculty
The Department of Genetics at Rutgers University has a large faculty each of whom needs a website where they can publish their research, current lab activities, and contact information. They wanted to be able to give each faculty member a website without the cost of paying for each individual website development project. Springthistle built them a multi-user CMS using Cake. Admin users can create faculty users, while faculty users can add and re-order pages, add images, and even change colors, fonts and layout thanks to a custom theming system.
