Testimonials
We have been a Mach-II shop for several years, but we recently rebuilt our primary website, daveramsey.com, into a 50 module Mach-II 1.8 application. We've found Mach-II to be an extremely powerful Model-View-Controller framework that enables us to support our growing number of users. It provides a foundation we can build on that has helped us to roll out new features quickly, without compromising a strong MVC design.
I also had the honor of meeting Team Mach-II at BFusion, and found Peter, Kurt, and Matt to be an outstanding group of committed, brilliant developers. We reviewed their work on Mach-II 1.8 while we were developing our new website, and found their code to be among the best ColdFusion code around. They set the bar for outstanding quality and community support.
