Orange is the middle ground in Ruby web development. It’s not one of those tiny DSL libraries like Sinatra, or one of those massive Web Application frameworks like Rails. It sits between the two extremes and lets Web Designers deploy websites without having to do too much from scratch or learn the ins and outs of generators, migrations, rake tasks and tests that Rails requires. It also mixes in a bit of auto-scaffolding magic like Django has.
We like to call Orange a “Content Management Framework” because it’s designed to help people create custom Content Management Systems without starting from scratch.
The Orange Sparkle Ball site, as well as several others we feature in the Our Work section, is built using the Orange Framework.
