What is Open Source?

There is a large movement of technical and creative programmers today that use their considerable skills in developing software solutions and then make them available totally free of charge. Teams of enthusiastic "problem solvers" spread across the planet, work together in large and small co-ordinated projects. The considerable achievements attained by the Open Source movement in producing highly sophisticated solutions is due in part to the fact that many are also involved at high levels in commercial endeavours and in part due to the large numbers of technically trained contributors.

Many commercial developers step in to assist businesses in implementing Open Source software. In a sense, they provide an interface between Open Source providers and businesses by installing, modifying, trouble shooting and providing guidance and training. Some of these solutions provide an end result where clients are able to manage and update their web projects largely or completely by themselves. Our biggest motivation in finding out what works really well, is to see what we can save our clients in setup and development costs.
