Open Source enables rich affordable content

Open source applications such as Python's Django the web framework for perfectionists with deadlines, Joomla for simple cms and Magento for e-commerce with their proven track-record. Each has a solid framework, numerous extensions and extensive on-line help with support groups offering a rich and reliable foundation to build web applications of all shapes and sizes.

Whether your requirements are simple or more complex and involved, one of the benefits of Open Source sharing is that 'it has probably been done before', if not the same then it could be similar and may be straightforward to modify or adapt. By avoiding reinventing the wheel, time and costs are reduced allowing any effort to build something that is more compelling and easier to use.

The Bootstrap framework has offered the advantage of more easily delivering multi-screen apps for most media formats including desktop, tablet and smartphone, and where appropriate we recommend it for new sites.

By using and contributing back to open source we all stand that little bit higher.
