SIMPLE STACK GUIDE

A SaaS Web App Without a Frontend Build Step

PHP templates, local assets and direct browser JavaScript.

What you get

The web application serves HTML from PHP templates with CSS and jQuery assets. It does not require an npm build to render a page or handle a form. Composer installs the mail dependency, and SQL migrations update the schema. Deployment still needs deliberate configuration and verification.

The tradeoffs

No frontend build step does not mean no server rendering: PHP renders the HTML on the server. It also does not eliminate bugs or maintenance. You still update dependencies, test JavaScript and PHP changes, and verify database migrations.

What to try first

This suits conventional account areas, small portals and product workflows. A richer client may justify React or another framework. The optional native apps have their own local Xcode/Gradle builds, so the no-build-step promise applies specifically to the web app.

Try before choosing

The live demos use sample data and simulated payments. The download includes the source and setup guides; your own launch still needs provider configuration and end-to-end testing.
