Open Source CMS

Many companies prefer to develop their websites using an open source CMS like Umbraco and WordPress. The benefit of this approach is that the backend admin system, Content Management System (CMS) is already built so there is less development time. The developers can then concentrate on the front-end aspects of the website.

These CMSs have functionality and templates that help in the build process of the front end website. You can purchase pre-built design templates that work with WordPress and plug them into your site. However, this means that other companies may have the same look at you company. The best option is to produce your own design and then use them as the template.

We can build websites using Umbraco and WordPress. After agreeing on a overall website design, we use the functionality of these Content Management Systems to build the look and feel of the website. We also use their functionality to produce any forms that are required on the website as well.

Websites built using these Content Management Systems can have their software upgraded as and when new versions are available from the open source vendor.

When developing with these platforms we only charge for time that we spend on development time, configuration, and hosting setup. If you require bespoke designs then we will charge for this.
