The advantages of open source websites

Open source software means that with the basic system built, we can use your budget creatively to deploy features and functions to engage your target audience. As well as restyling and remodeling open source platforms to our customers unique requirements, we also design and build new applications to make the website work for them.

Our customers don’t have to make do with standard functionality we will plan, design and build your website to do what you and your marketplace want/need it to do.

Whether you have a budget of £3,000 or £300,000, open source software is a great starting point. In our portfolio you will find both full custom built sites and sites built on open source platforms; as a user we are confident you won’t be able to tell the difference. The main benefits for you are...

Flexibility – the platforms we use allow us to add new features to keep your website up to date without rebuilding the whole site. Think of it as a lego set; we can add new bricks as your requirements need them.

Freedom – We base our relationships with our clients on the basis of you want to work with us you aren’t stuck with us. If for any reason you decide to end your relationship with us or we don’t exist anymore (don’t get me wrong, we are confident about our future) you aren’t stuck with a website that no one can work with.

Cost – We aren’t having to re-invent the wheel everytime. With the basic structure in place your budget can be spent on the ‘user experience’.

Robustness - The open source platforms we work with such as Joomla, Moodle, Magento and Drupal are incredibly good, if we take Joomla for example there are over 30 million websites built on this platform with contributions from who knows how many million developers in refining, testing and developing this platform.
