Ruby on Rails Experts

Ruby on Rails is full-stack web development framework that empowers developers to create database-backed websites with ease. The speed of development combined with the speed of maintaining the system mean Ruby on Rails is an ideal technology to develop applications quickly and economically.

Rails' fundamental principles are Convention over Configuration (CoC) and Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY). These two factors allow rapid application development and provides agility often required in most software development. Conventions allows developers who haven't worked on the project before to pick it up and start working on it with only a small learning curve. An added benefit is that Cake can to maintain or update any existing Rails site.

Rails is a mature technology and has been adopted by companies like Yellow Pages.

The Variety Club North West site was developed by Cake using Ruby on Rails. The admin section inludes bespoke event booking system as well as other standard administration functionality. Future developments include an bolt-on e-mail marketing system. The Variety Club's was migrated from an existing PHP based site onto Rails in a matter of days. Not only was Cake able to replicate the content on the existing site but also included improvements for search engine optimisation (SEO) and additional back office functionality.
