Welcome to HomePortals Framework Wiki

The purpose of this wiki is to manage and track the development of the HomePortals Framework project. This site also acts as a central point where to store all documentation and related information to the project.

What is HomePortals?

HomePortals is a CFML framework used to facilitate the layout and rendering of modular components on web-based applications. Since HomePortals only deals with the layout management of a web page, it can easily integrate with more general MVC frameworks.

HomePortals is distributed freely under the Apache 2.0 license.
