I think "high-performance" is a key word for Yii and for its success. How many people have downloaded and tried Yii after reading this page (linked from the home page)?

And most important, they experienced that the claim is credible. That was good marketing, even if Yii does not have a marketing department.

That page needs a major update... Laravel should be included as well.

Thanks! This is exactly the philosophy behind Yii. We want Yii to have less twisted code while still very flexible to be customized.

"Yii: Yes It Is for rapid and secure web application development"

Nice!

How about: Yii is Credible!

I think a big part of a pull for Laravel is its word usage. Eloquent does make you want to look more and then by the time you use it enough you can't be bothered to switch.

However good laravel might be it just doesn't sound "enterprise" like zend or symfony.

What is Yii's market?
Who do you want as users?
Does the top page (landing page) reflect your customers tastes?

Laravel, zend and symfony pulls you in. Zend is well zend and symfony scares you away with its forums.

One of Yii's biggest assists is its forum.

I'd ommit the words 'fast', 'secure' and 'professional' as they are already included in the main statement/description.


Change Haensels proposal to:
a modern and rock solid open source PHP framework made to achieve more with less code

a modern and rock solid open source PHP framework made to achieve more with less code
This sounds nice. how it'd be if we say it like

a modern and rock solid open source PHP framework to achieve more with less code
(or)
a modern and rock solid open source PHP framework to do more with less code

Its just an idea.. Cheers

I think this whole discussion is just silly. The only sane way out of it is to now have a slogan or whatever at all

I'm late, I know.

What about something short, that still covers all corners/aspects?
Something like "Perfection in action".

Every once in a while I take a look at yiiframework.com and see the current framework description: "Yii is a high-performance PHP framework best for developing Web 2.0 applications.". While that was true some years ago the web has changed and the term Web 2.0 sounds really dated these days.

What I like the most about Yii is it's "as close too as possible" to being opt-in. I never have to use that particular component, I can do it my way, it's just a thing in the toolbox.
Personally I've never used the assets folder thing or any build-in javascript, because it didn't make sense to me, but it's not a problem since I can just write plain HTML.

Light, solid, intuitive for a programmer - programming as it should be.

I like aggresive marketing. So i write a little poem v0.3:


If you liking talk a lot,
Take Symfony to the board.
If you think you like Einstein,
Look for Zend and blow your brain.
If from child you loving trains
No exceptions, choose the Rails!
If your goal is make profit,
This for Yii. It all you need!

Last year I explored Yii and I loved it. I love my Subaru but I am still a driver armature. I love Yii and I am still developer armature. When I go out and buy something, I look for something that touches me. I think we need to be emotional here (read HICKS: Subaru ‘love’ isn’t rational, Accessed on 14/06/2013) and not technical. My suggestion:
1. Yii: framework in confidence (borrowed from Subaru slogan "motion in confidence")
2. Yii: a framework developed by passion for the love of PHP coding (borrowed from Subaru slogan "built by passion for the love of driving")
3. Yii: performance with passion (performance means: is secure, fast, reliable, professional, etc)
4. Yii: it does what I want (Yes It Is because it does what I want)

I have read all the above comments but we still need to think think of something out of the box. Who cares whether its fast, secure and better than another frameworks. What we want is, does it touch my emotions, can I relate it to me, what is may experience to it. I don't know much about marketing but I do know that advertiser play around with our emotions.

Sorry developers, it has to be based on Subaru because last week I drove my legacy on Kalahari soft sand, and I was scared where I shouldn't have been and it managed to go through places where the 4x4s couldn't; that is why I love it and that is why I believe in Yii even when I am still an armature.
