Our web development is based on the award-winning content management system (CMS) architecture better known as Joomla, which provides our customers with a very wide level of flexibility, along with an ease of use interface. Whether you have a small business, organization, or commercial presence, our approach can suite your needs while providing you and your customers a dynamic web presence.
Joomla is an open source web application which in short means that there are no commercial licenses to buy. The development community will often refer to open source applications as ‘free software’. The application is indeed free as in ‘freedom’ not as in ‘beer’ and therefore developers can modify, add modules, enhance functionality or develop entirely new concepts using this architecture. This architecture covers a wide variety of solutions such as:
Corporate web sites or portals
Corporate intranets and extranets
Online magazines, newspapers, and publications
E-commerce and online reservations
Government applications
Small business web sites
Non-profit and organizational web sites
Community-based portals
School and church web sites
Personal or family homepages
At the end of the day anything is possible.
At this point, a fundamental question that you might be asking yourself is whether or not you run the risk of running your web presence on an open source foundation. The open source developers’ communities are leaders in developing some of the most trusted building blocks of yesterdays and today’s web presence all around the world. As an example, Apache, a web server application, accounts for 49.5% of the top servers used across all domains. Microsoft, which showed a decline for the month of August 2008 accounts for 35.6%. (Data provided by Netcraft). PHP is yet another popular development which had become more widely used than Microsoft’s active server pages. One other fundamental note to point out, Microsoft has become a large contributor to these open source developments, along with Google and Yahoo. Therefore, the only risk that you might be up against is whether you’re a competitor of these projects.
Lastly, but surely not least significant would be with regards to security. While Joomla continues to be the leading CMS there’s always an issue with the security of any application. Joomla has deployed a security strike team focused entirely around any potential vulnerabilities that might present themselves. ClearviewONE monitors these security threats and adjusts our clients web presence accordingly as a means to provide continued safety and reliability before it’s too late.
