Technology We Use

We use the most current (but stable) technology available to create your site.

Philosophy

Whenever possible, we rely on open-source software for our solutions. We do this for two reasons:

Open source software is rich with functionality. That means you get more features for less cost.
Solutions based on open source give you (the business) more independence. While we want you to use us for future projects, you have the opportunity to work with any number of developers for improvements or expansion.
