‘Open Source’ has often been a preferred option at the Owen Agency for Content Managed System (CMS) websites, as it provides a flexible proven solution without annual licensing renewal, with maximum support.
There are numerous benefits as to why you should consider ‘Open Source’ technology over ‘Proprietary’ CMS, the main being the issue of licensing and updates. Whether your using Word Press, Joomla or Drupal, these ‘Open Source’ solutions carry a GNU General Public License negating the need for costly annual renewal or support contracts.
Consider this, would you buy a car from a small company operated from a shed, or would you go to a main stream dealer with a worldwide support network. Obviously the second choice would be more secure and less risky although you would be surprised at just how many ‘Agencies’ will push their own CMS solutions over ‘Open source’.
It’s Good to see that ‘Open Source’ is becoming the trusted solution in CMS
I was pleasantly surprised to see that ‘The White House’ has now adopted a new ‘Open source’ CMS website (Drupal) which goes to show that if the US government can trust in this technology, then perhaps you should too.
So apart from the benefits of worldwide support networks, extensive pre-configured plug-ins and modules, reduced site development times, ease of updating, improved search engine optimisation (SEO), and regular enhancements and updates. Why would you choose ‘Open source’?
