For the majority of our clients, having the ability to manage the content of their website is preferred over learning HTML code, purchasing a HTML editing tool like Adobe’s Dreamweaver or relying on WSD Resource for minor updates to News, Events or Career opportunities.

For projects requiring a Content Management System (CMS), we generally develop in either a Joomla or Wordpress environment. As with our ecommerce platforms, both of our CMS solutions are basically open source. So there are no annual license fees, you only need to add the functionality required and there are no proprietary software fees. You 100% own the website.
