Nettebased

Nettebased is a descriptor used in PHP development to characterize software projects that are based on the Nette Framework. It signals that a codebase relies on Nette for core infrastructure, including request handling, dependency injection, and templating, rather than on alternative stacks.

Projects described as Nettebased typically adopt Nette's Model-View-Presenter style, leverage the framework's DI container, router, event system, and components library, and often use the Latte templating engine for presentation. The term emphasizes architectural alignment and reusability across modules.

Nettebased projects benefit from strong security defaults, a testable architecture, and consistent conventions. However, Nette experience is required to maintain and extend them, and the label is not a formal standard; it is a community-driven categorization rather than a certification.

In practice, the Nettebased approach appears in small to medium-sized PHP applications, such as admin dashboards, CMS backends, and service-oriented apps, where developers prefer explicit, well-documented components and clear separation of concerns.
