Component-based
Keep PHP, HTML, and CSS together. Compose and extend components without repeating structure.
InstanceIO / Component framework
Build static or dynamic websites with components.
A component-based PHP framework with HTMx and Docker ready out of the box. Export to flat HTML for S3, serverless, or IPFS.

Capabilities
One framework for the way websites actually ship.
Compose reusable components, serve dynamic pages, or compile the same application to flat HTML when the deployment calls for it.
HTMx ready
Build server-driven interactions without bringing a JavaScript framework into every page.
Docker first
Use one command for local development, dynamic production, flat-file production, and watching.
Static export
Compile to HTML for S3, serverless functions, traditional hosting, or content-addressed storage.
API integration
Fetch remote component templates and render them locally with your own styles and logic.
CLI tooling
Scaffold components, controllers, routes, Docker environments, and builds from the terminal.
Component syntax
Small files. Clear ownership. Infinite composition.
A component is a PHP class, an HTML template, and a stylesheet. Pass attributes, set defaults, handle data, or compose child components.

Dynamic to static
Choose the runtime at deploy time.
Run the full PHP application when you need dynamic behavior. Build flat HTML when you want a simple, portable artifact for a bucket, CDN, or IPFS.
