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 complaint website development platforms in the market. As an ISO9001:2000 company, certificated for "Software Design and Development", we take quality seriously and so we've invested substantial time and effort into creating a QA system that helps ensure that all our open source content management system code is passed through a substantive quality assurance process, creating industrial strength CMS solutions that we've successfully applied 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.
