Open-source software is freely available and offered by development communities online. It’s a peer-reviewed science, where programmers effectively collaborate together to create something big. This is instead of re-creating code and re-inventing the wheel in small groups every time. Community strike-teams also can make them much more secure than proprietary software.
Take the following scenario, you’re visiting a website using an open-source browser like Mozilla Firefox, the internet server you’re communicating is likely to be powered by open-source Linux software, and you may well be viewing it from a mobile device using the Google Android, which, of course, is also open source!
The power of this open-source initiative is only getting stronger, the Android open-source software for phones is starting to threaten Apples market share with the iPhone in America. The internet is, in fact, powered by open source. Linux is the standard system for running Internet server software. Also, Linux operating systems are becoming a true alternative to proprietary ones like windows and Mac for everyday users. The web browsers Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome have gathered massive use amongst everyday users.
We believe forcing clients to pay for licences to obsolete proprietary software is wrong. That’s why we use the best in open-source technology for our web design and development services. Our content management system (CMS) solution uses Joomla, the most popular CMS in the world, and its scalability and extensibility is second to none. The Magento commerce system is a powerful solution to e-commerce needs. This means that you’re getting value out of your strategy and use of the site rather than payment for technical costs behind it.
