Open source software offers flexibility, community support and freedom from vendor lock-in. Our articles examine security, support models, total cost of ownership and when open source is the right choice versus proprietary alternatives.
We have been advocates of open source technology since our founding in 2000 and have published articles and guides on open source platforms throughout that time. Our open source knowledge spans CMS platforms, development frameworks and business tools.
Our open source technology articles cover CMS platforms (WordPress, Joomla, Drupal), development frameworks, security considerations, licensing, total cost of ownership and the business case for open source versus proprietary alternatives.
Open source can be highly secure because its code is publicly reviewed. Security depends on keeping software updated, following best practices and choosing projects with active development communities.
The software is typically free to use, but hosting, development, customisation and maintenance carry costs. Think of it as free as in freedom, not free as in beer.
No vendor lock-in, code transparency, community development, extensive customisation and typically lower licensing costs. For web development, open source platforms offer tremendous flexibility.
Proprietary can make sense when you need guaranteed vendor support, specific compliance certifications or when an off-the-shelf product closely matches your needs without customisation.
