Testimonials

We are proud to hear that so many people use Hyde to build their websites. Here are some of our favourite mentions.

@CodeWithCaen is amazing.... So beautifully created the @HydeFramework

I was scrolling the internet to find the best tool to write documentation for the project which is simple to work with. I think I found one now.... The best part, built on my go to framework Laravel. 🤯

HydePHP is actually simple to setup. Now, I'm not a PHP developer and I can barely write a function in this language, but the project actually delivers on what it promises.

What I'm mostly impressed with is how clean and straightforward the documentation is. Writing good documentation is an art and Caen did an amazing job at it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
