Open Source
We firmly believe that the future of the software industry lies in footsteps already trod by the Open Source movement. We do our bit by sharing time and code with a number of projects. We also try to use Open Source scripts when developing a site – they’re typically better than the commercial alternative anyway! We love working with these the most:
- WordPress [ main site ¦ about ¦ demo ¦ plugins ]
- Joomla [ main site ¦ about ¦ demo ¦ extensions ]
- OpenCart [ main site ¦ about ¦ demo ¦ extensions ]
Between the three of them and the many extras available, there isn’t much we can’t make your site do. Having said that, if you’ve already chosen another platform then we’d like to mention that we’re also really good with Drupal, Magento, Mambo, MediaWiki, MODX, Moodle, osCommerce, openX, phpBB, Typo3, Vanilla, XOOPS, Zen Cart and a few others too!
Better Source
If we’re coding then:
- we never encrypt any of the code we produce
- we code cleanly, adhering to sensible naming and understandable comments
- we code with maintainability at the core of everything we write
- you own the copyright on any code we produce (excluding any third-party libraries)
If we’re making graphics then:
- we work latest software packages, including Adobe’s Creative Suite (CS5)
- we produce source files using industry-standard formats like PSD, AI and EPS
- source files are neatly layered
- source files are fully editable
- fonts used are supplied when legally possible
- everything in a source file is sensibly named
- we don’t charge extra for multiple formats (unless it’s lots of work for us)
- you own the copyright for any art we create (excluding stock photos and commercial fonts)
