Introduction

Nails is a PHP framework to make building hand-crafted, exhilarating web apps fast & painless.

Nails is an open-source PHP framework. Super easy to install and work with, it provides numerous handy modules to suit most common use cases – leveraging the Composer ecosystem in order to bring about additional functionality 😍

Out of the box, Nails provides the bare essentials for building MVC applications - a deliberate decision in order to keep the operating footprint as low as possible.

Nails' real power comes through the use of components, allowing complete chunks of functionality to be brought in so time and money can be spent on building The Important Stuff ™️ 🧐

Nails is a young framework, but one which is actively developed with features, fixes and updates being pushed almost every day – join us on Slack if you have any questions 🙋‍♀️

Nails is not an out-of-the-box, plug-and-play CMS, blogging platform or shopping platform (like WordPress, Drupal or ExpressionEngine); it is a tool for developers, allowing them to build any type of site efficiently and effectively without coercing a tool that doesn't quite fit their needs.
