Yii 2 Project Template
======================

[](#yii-2-project-template)

This project is a skeleton [Yii 2](http://www.yiiframework.com/) application best for developing complex Web applications with multiple tiers.

The template includes three tiers: front end, back end, and console, each of which is a separate Yii application.

The template is designed to work in a team development environment.
