Websites can be designed statically and developed dynamically. When we think of developing websites dynamically, the basic idea comes in our mind is content management system (CMS). But apart from CMS, there are also frameworks for developing website or web applications. Generally we call it as web framework. A web frame work is nothing but a software frame work which 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 organised, reusable and maintainable code. The web frame works 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.
