PHP.net revealed its brand new website design today. PHP.net is the official website of PHP. The redesign is based on HTML5, Google Fonts, and Bootstrap. The website’s layout is a typical Bootstrap-centered layout with a top menu level. It’s both simple and elegant. The website color scheme remains purple, but the colors have been lightened a bit according to the PHP.net designers. The font of choice is “Source Sans Pro” making the website’s font much more smoother and softer to read. The PHP code examples are more readable.

In addition, the PHP documentation has also been redesigned. It’s a drastic improvement over the previous design. It’s easier to navigate and read, making the reading documentation fun again. The new design has been a long time coming. The older design was showing its age. The website seemed stuck in time ten years ago. So, kudos to the PHP Group and to those who were involved for making the bold move. There’s no doubting now, PHP is truly the most popular language of the web.
