A Great Website At A Fair Cost
With the growth of the “Open Source” development community, having a site custom built just for you may not be necessary. By making use of an open source platform and customising it to suit your function needs and branding, you can almost halve the cost of building and developing a great interactive and engaging site. You see “Open Source” is based on one key philosophy UBUNTU that is an African word meaning “Humanity to others” and came about through developers and their clients getting fed up with paying astronomical costs for software and licenses. So key business and web tools have been developed to help businesses with tighter budgets compete on a level field – you may have heard of Open Office, Sun Microsystems answer to Microsoft Office. It’s completely free and interacts comfortably with MS Office programs.
My point is this: there are open source solutions to what used to be a “bespoke only build” market. Sure they may have their cons and may be limiting, in certain aspects, but on the other hand they are lower cost, easy to self maintain and robust enough to grow your site further. After looking at your requirements for a website you may still need a bespoke solution but it is certainly worth investigating open source options first. 73dpi will never charge a client for an open source solution we only charge for the customisation of it to suit our clients requirements.
