Description
A small framework I wrote to make development of PHP based websites easier for me. You might be interested in using it yourself for smaller projects. Adding new pages and actions is simple and fully supports Smarty templates. Page examples and my default theme are included in this package.

Installation
Simply upload the framework to a location of your choice and start developing your PHP site.
This framework is light and simple, yet stands ready for expansion and has excellent out of the box tools to help speed up the initial stages of development.
Keep in mind that this is a barebone framework and is intended to be as such. This holds no competition with beefy frameworks such as Symfony or Zend, but as stated before, that is the intent.
This framework will suit anyone that prefers to write their own code instead of using extreme amounts of 3rd Party modules that may possess security risks or poor performance.
The structure is very simple and can be learned in about an hour and the integration of Smarty Templates is nice due to the power Smarty has with the rather simple learning curve.
I use this framework, or development versions of it, as the base in 12 of my projects and would never start a project from scratch without at least this framework in place ever again.
