Open Source vs Proprietary Content Management Systems

We work with several open source content management systems including Plone, Drupal 5+ and Joomla!. Open Source means we supply you the source code of the core system under the GNU GPL License or similar. Open Source content management systems now represent some of the best, most standards compliant website development platforms in the market. As an ISO9001:2000 company, certified for "Software Design and Development", we take quality seriously and have invested substantial time and effort into creating a QA procedures that help ensure that our open source content management system code is "industrial strength" and suitable for medium and large scale projects .

We also work with proprietary systems, including Lotus Notes / Domino. Whether you choose open source or proprietary depends very much on the special circumstances of your requirements and we are happy to advise. For certain types of project we can even build you a bespoke CMS Website solution using Java or PHP.
