+# PHPixie PHP Framework
+<p align="center">
+ <img src="https://phpixie.com/images/logo.png"/>
+</p>
+
+PHPixie started as a micro framework and has gradually grown to be one of the
+most popular fullstack PHP frameworks while retaining its high performance.
+This is in part because of the strict architecture that avoids common pitfalls
+such as reliance on static methods, global scope, singletons and other antipatterns,
+thus also ensuring that the code is easy to read, debug, extend and test.
+In fact all PHPixie components boast full unit test coverage. It is the PHP framework
+that will never stand in your way and provides you with full control over execution
+flow, easy to learn and straightforward to master.
+
+But it's not all just about the code. The PHPixie community is very friendly and
+helpful, you can expect getting an answer to your question within minutes of asking
+it in the chat. The framework documentation is full of examples and is regularly
+updated with tutorial videos.
