Welcome to PHPenguin

PHPenguin, as the banner states above, is a lightweight and versatile framework upon which to build the latest in sophisticated and responsive web sites. Fully AJAX powered, PHPenguin uses efficient and streamlined background communication between the client browser and web server to send and retrieve data.

What this means to the end user is that actions like clicking on a link updates only the relevant section of the page instead of reloading the entire page. This results in both an increase in performance, as well as reducing the load on the server, since less data is required for each request from the browser.

To see this advanced design in action, click on any of the links on this page, like the calendar and news blocks on the right. Advancing or reversing the month displayed in the calendar results in only the calendar itself being updated. Similarly, clicking the links on the news stories loads the news story into this main content area without reloading the entire web page. (Use the Home link in the main menu to return here after displaying a news story.)

This increased performance and improved user experience is part of the trend sweeping web development often called Web 2.0. AJAX and DHTML allow the creation of web sites that interact with the user more like a traditional desktop application, increasing throughput and productivity.
PHPenguin's modular design and highly structured architecture makes it ideal for building practically any web site. Additionally, by separating the design elements from the business code, PHPenguin can import just about any graphic design to give your site the unique look you desire.

Currently the system installs with the following functions.
  • Log in and registration
  • Events calendar
  • News stories
  • Content pages
  • Discussion forums
Your site can be built upon the framework, using any of the installed modules or removing unneeded ones. When your site is complete the system contains no extraneous code that is not used, and that hinder maintenance work or complicate further development.

After registering on this site you can participate in the Discussion Board, another fully AJAX powered module, and see the fast response and "desktop" like performance of PHPenguin. Also available to registered users are the technical notes explaining how our system works

If you'd like Big Sky Penguin to build your site with PHPenguin, creating an advanced, cutting-edge web site with outstanding performance and a state of the art user experience, contact us today.
