Yii Development Company, India

Lutfal and Champa and their team (Remote Programmer) in Kolkata have been working with me since 2003.

Andrew R. Taylor

I personally went to India to visit Lutfal and his team in 2007 to start off our project and they made me feel very welcome. I was impressed by their set-up and professionalism. I would highly recommend Remote Programmer to anyone.

Martin J Smith

We have used Remote Programmer for last 13 years (as on Jan 2020) and have always been impressed by the quality of the service they provide. We have a fairly complex website with more than 500 MySQL tables which requires a lot of work on an ongoing basis so we opted to use dedicated resources from them. It is a great value for money.

Mohammed Moulay

Web Development using Yii framework

Yii is a high performance PHP framework (MVC) for building CMS websites as well for a large web application.  Yii framework consists of some code libraries written in PHP along with a defined set of rules / conventions / processes to develop a robust and high performance web application. Yii2 is the latest version of Yii framework.

We are a full fledged Yii development company in India. We are into Yii development since 2014 and in PHP development since 1999. We can surely help in  Yii development.  


How does the Yii / Yii2  help in Web Development?

It is true that one can develop a web application without using a framework. Then why  use a framework? Why Yii/Yii2?

The only answer - to save time by not  exploring things which are already explored and tested by thousands of others.  Yii framework helps in all parts of the application platform  

Any  web application has following parts

  1. Business logic - The actual business logics are written in codes / database objects. A framework gives a guideline where and how to write the codes. It also provides existing libraries that can be reused for common business logics. Yii provides huge core and 3rd party libraries to helpout.
  2. Application logic - These scripts define how different objects inside the application. The performance, security etc of the application largely depends on it. In fact the application logics are written in framework core. Yii has a lightweight core for better performance.
  3. Associated engines / servers - These create the platform on which the application runs. Database server, web server, mail  server, caching server, scripting engine etc. Yii provides different options to connect these for high performance.
  4. Associated scripting frameworks / languages -  HTML/CSS/Javascript / SQL / React / Angular etc. Yii has given options to manage all these front end tools to manage efficiently.

In all four parts Yii manages well. In addition Yii helps its developers to run automated Unit testing options  by integrating codeception.  We can of course have the option  not to choose a framework, but have to often remake the wheel.


Yii / Yii2  advantages over other web development frameworks  

Here are a few solid reasons why choose Yii

  1. Yii is easy to Install and manage - For web developers, time is money. It is free. One can easily download and install in minutes.
  2. Yii utilizes latest Technologies - Yii is a pure OOP framework, and takes advantage of some of PHP’s more advanced features, including late static binding, SPL classes and interfaces, and anonymous functions. It provides libraries for using React and other front end tools.  
  3. Yii is highly extensible - Yii is like a suit that looks great off of the rack, but is also very easy to tailor to fit your needs. Virtually every component of the framework is extensible.
  4. Yii simplifies security - None can deny the importance of security on any web application, and fortunately Yii gives great default solutions.
  5. Yii shortens development time - Yii provides some excellent tools to do the repeat jobs and reduce delivery time
  6. Yii is easy to tune for better performance - Yii provides good tools for caching on application and server level to optimize  the performance.


Recommended platform for Yii Development

  1. Yii2 - for API
  2. ReactJS - for frontend development
  3. PgSQL - Back end database
  4. React Native - For mobile app development
  5. Plus usual linux tools as applicable

If you are a layman in software development, here are the steps for you to build a large application for your company. These are best when implemented on an agile basis.  It still may contain some technical jargon, we will be happy to clarify it if requested ...

  1. Understand the basic concept and have a high level requirement document that will describe the business objective, overall concept and capabilities. List out all  the possible features under each capabilities.
  2. Identify  the 20% main features that basically constitute 80% product values. Put them in the MVP and pick the 1st feature for development. 
  3. Break down the feature into user stories.  In the proposed software who will do what, when, where and why. You need a Product Owner (it is an agile software development term)  to efficiently do above jobs .
  4. Plan to convert each user story into software components along with requirements and specifications associated with every future component. Components are user Interfaces and code objects, database objects etc - bricks and mortars of the software application.  This job is of a System Analyst cum Designer.
  5. Create graphical representation of the user interface layouts and screen templates. You need a  Graphics Designer who can do it efficiently.
  6. Convert all the functionalities, quality benchmarks, environment setup activities, miscellaneous works  into  doable tasks in a manner such that every one in the team (including you people) transparently see the progress, spent hours, estimates, issues etc. This is best done by putting all requirements, defects, test cases, general tasks etc  on an integrated project management software.  The person who manages it is called Scrum Master.
  7. Convert the proposed components along with requirements into actual software components. Actual codes, files and database tables that can run on a software platform to provide expected results. This is ideally done by  Developer. It's often done by two developers. Front end developer ( ReactJS, React Native Developer) for creating user interfaces and PHP/Node.js API developer to fetch data from the server.
  8. Test (and fix)  the React Native app / feature  formally using a test management  tool to verify and validate the functional and nonfunctional TDD points are implemented. It requires further testing whether the idea itself requires changes or not. It may also require testing against load and security. Finally testing and fixing  to make sure that everything is usable by the final user.  This job is of a Test Analyst, Tester and Product Owner.
  9. Test the feature by the product owner and operation team (customer team). Business facing  testing to ensure all the business requirements meet or not. Exploratory testing to see if there are rooms for improvement. Usability  testing by the actual system user and make sure they feel comfortable.
  10. Make the feature live as per live process checkpoint. Everyone connected  to the development team gets involved in the live process.

The entire cycle is done on an agile process. That means full development is transparent to the DEV team and Operation team. Right person does his job when required. An efficient feedback loop is created.  If a defect /anomaly  is identified at any step, it is sent back to the previous step and gets corrected. Using this LEAN / DevOps powered Agile development process we can build a system which will provide maximum value to your users without delivering clutter.

How can we help you in Yii Development?

It may not be easy ( if not impossible) for you to hire so many experts. Just  hiring a developer will not solve your problem either. We can help you …

  3. We can provide you with a Yii developer with competence in ReactJs and React Native for building interactive web frontend with Yii back end and native mobile apps for both android and iOS.
  4. A programmer can never bring the perfection of a designer to design point. We will give you access to the designer just paying the marginal cost.
  5. If your proposed system is performance or security sensitive you must do formal load and security testing to avoid unpleasant surprise in future.
  6. We can manage your DEV and Live server at AWS too. Basic setup & day to day administration including backup.
  7. We  have our own integrated project management cum product development platform that takes care of the project life cycle as well as product development life cycle. You can use it at no extra cost.
