website design :: open source
There are a wide variety of open source solutions available for web based systems, including
content management systems, blogs, wikis, etc. We do not believe in re-inventing the wheel and are
happy to help Small to Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs) select the right solution and then implement
it for them.
Whilst our focus is on developing custom built solutions we realise that for some businesses open source solutions present a realistic and affordable solution that will meet their needs, so we are pleased to be able to provide alternatives that are well supported by the open source community.

We worked in conjunction with FourDegreesWest, developing a "hose assembly wizard" for a hydraulic supplier in the South West of England. FourDegreesWest used the open source Zen shopping cart, but needed some additional functionality added to the standard version that would allow users to specify their requirements, using an intuitive user interaface. The work involved integrating the set-up within the Zen administration area as well as the front end, accessed by clients.

Initially the business owners approach us, because the were paying a considerable amount of moeny to an SEO company that said they would build them a website, but they never came up with the goods. We produced a website that is already yielding results using WordPress, enabling us to delievr a content management system with limited resources, whilst deliverying the clients needs.
