Open Source software is a relative new approach to all sorts of computer applications and programs -- and an innovative and empowering path for companies, organizations and individuals to develop and own their own websites....

• For the company, the Open Source choice means that your company ends up owning the code for your website. Commercial developers will charge you not only for time but for program licensing; often they will charge you for any changes made to the code; nearly always you are prohibited from passing the code on to other sites, including sites owned by you. The Open Source approach removes the license fee from the equation. You own the code (and can pass it on under the same terms). You pay us (or whomever you like) to administer theme and fuctions. And if you wish to add new modular functionality, nobody prevents you. There are no proprietary issues to accommodate.
• For the organization, Open Source means that you can focus your resources on style and functionality rather than fees. Your financial bottom line does not have to be challenged just to have a robust and dynamic website. In addition, modules focused on community-oriented features are being developed on a regular basis by developers in the Open Source community.
• For the individual, Open Source means you don't have to choose between owning your own site at a premium vs. posting on one of the free webhosting/bloghosting services owned by for-profit corporations. Now you can have your own domain running code you own without having to pay costly licensing fees.
• For everyone, the advantages are simple:
  

  When programmers can read, redistribute, and modify the source code for a piece of software, the software evolves. People improve it, people adapt it, people fix bugs. And this can happen at a speed that, if one is used to the slow pace of conventional software development, seems astonishing.

  In other words, you gain from development that does not come out of your own budget.

So how do we get paid? You pay us for design and theming, giving your site the unique look you want. We can also help you set up your site, and administer its settings, showing you the ropes, so that you can be up and running without a huge learning curve. When we're done, you own what you have -- no strings, no royalties, no licensing fees.
