#V2 #What is Simple MVC Framework?

Simple MVC Framework is a PHP 5.3 MVC system. It's designed to be lightweight and modular, allowing developers to build better and easy to maintain code with PHP.

The base framework comes with a few helper classes, this is to keep code bloat down to a minimum. Classes can easily be added at any stage of development.
