An open source system is a software application where the source code is freely available for modification, customisation and integration as per the individual’s requirements. Open source content management systems provide a freely available structure which can be tailored to build and manage your website.
We use the flexible base of these open source solutions and couple it with our expertise in design and coding. CMS is a good option for content-rich websites, blogs and e-commerce portals as there is no need to reinvent the wheel - we use the core-base of the CMS engine as the initial building blocks to create and manage your website.
The key thing to remember is that the success of a CMS based platform is equally dependant on the robust nature of the CMS and the value added by the developer at their end.
