Websites can be designed statically and developed dynamically. When we think of developing websites dynamically, the basic idea that comes to our minds is content management system (CMS). But apart from CMS, there are also frameworks for developing websites or web applications. Generally we call it a web framework. A web framework is nothing but a software framework that is designed to develop web applications, web services, and web APIs. They are designed in such a way that they reduce the efforts of developers by making development speed fast. Rather than creating or developing code from scratch, they provide well-organized, reusable, and maintainable code. The web frameworks follow the MVC (Model-View-Controller) pattern. Many website developers like to use web frameworks to develop websites and web applications and find them very easy and effortless to work on.
