Free translation of an article from the site Crisp eBusiness What technology do we use?
We have clients whose projects are written in PHP, ASP and ColdFusion. Our choice is Adobe ColdFusion, which we recommend to everyone.

It is not easy to paint on points all the advantages of technology, but still:
What does this mean?
This means that your site operates on a commercial platform, which can be increased due to the increasing number of visitors. As a language for rapid application development, CF reduces development time to a minimum, reducing costs and time.
You know that ColdFusion is not a new language.
This is a common misconception. ColdFusion was created in 1995. Since then, nine major releases have been released, i.e. it can be said that each new version comes out every two years. Adobe bought ColdFusion from Macromedia in 2007. This platform is used by approximately 75% of the 100 largest US industrial companies. In May 2009, Gartner published a report in which they recommend ColdFusion for use:
“ColdFusion is unique and valuable, which allows it to vastly surpass any competing alternative technologies. Most notably, ColdFusion is unrivaled among competitors in terms of ease of use and technical capabilities. ”
Is ColdFusion expensive?
Adobe ColdFusion is a commercial product, so if you wanted a license, you will have to buy it. However, there are many hosting companies, including Crisp eBusiness, that can host your applications, so it’s very likely that you don’t have to buy a license. On the other hand, there are two free application servers, Railo and Open BlueDragon , that support ColdFusion markup language.
It is worth considering the fact that the widespread free PHP application server is not designed to work with responsible applications; instead, you should use the commercial version. This is what is written on the Zend website:
"The generic version of the Zend server is a free, simple PHP web application server environment that is ideal for working with non-responsible PHP applications or simply for experimenting with PHP."
You should ask yourself if you want to resort to the cheapest simplest solution you can find, or consider your website as a way to make a significant investment. As a commercial product, ColdFusion must be good enough to compete with free alternatives.
What practical experience does Crisp eBusiness have?
We have an experienced team of local developers who can learn from others' experience and knowledge. Our lead application developer, John Wilsch, is a high-quality Adobe Certified ColdFusion Specialist and also manages the Adobe ColdFusion user group in Devon.
As the leader of the Adobe user group, John has access to a wealth of information and experience from around the world. In addition, he maintains his blog on ColdFusion and related technologies.
