The Yii website has a fresh new look!

We’ve redesigned it for clearer navigation, better readability, improved mobile support, and consistent dark mode—all while keeping the familiar Yii spirit.

Take a look and let us know what you think!

A few month ago we have replaced the old Yii Framework website with a rewritten version in Yii 2. While developing the new site, we also discussed the replacement of the old IPB forum software with a more modern solution, but replacing the forum together with the site would have been too much work to do at once.

From a long discussion, which started already a few years ago, we have now evaluated different forum software and decided to go with Discourse, which is an open source forum software made by the people who created also StackOverflow. We are going to replace the old forum with a Discourse instance starting tomorrow (September 4, 2018).

Here is a list of things that are going to change:

We are very happy to announce that the new yiiframework.com website is finally ready for deployment.

A huge thanks to Сергей Хильков (eshill) for his design work, to Jacob Moen and Nikola Trifunović for the countless hours spent on tweaking the frontend code and doing pages markup. Thanks to prodex, Robert Korulczyk and other contributors for fixes and additions.

There is a forum topic for discussion on this announcement.

We are very proud to announce that Yii has a new official project site! This is a complete rewrite of the old site, with brand new designs and many new features. We hope you all like it!
