Let's play!

The economic squeeze may have forced many businesses to either shut down or come up with a new strategy that works in a more conscious marketplace. It has also created space for open source software, and for innovators and entrepreneurs to get started in a cost-conscious way using open source software.

If you are new to open source software or IT, the Open Source landscape can be overwhelming. We created this guided tour through the CMS landscape so you can have a relaxed look-around and gather impressions and workable knowledge to get started in a focused way.

The tour uses four free and open source Content Management software systems: CMS Made Simple, Exponent, Joomla!, and Drupal.

Each has its own typical interfaces and quirks and the four are representative of the maturity levels discerned and mentioned in scratch that itch!

May it be clear that Wyrdweb does not sell software. We sell our in depth knowledge of the landscape, experience based coaching for maintenance of the software, design skills which include security and SEO pressures, and agile development skills for manifesting different wishes you may have.

Starting or rebooting a business may seem a real challenge right now, but if you make the right decisions in your business design and choice of open source software, your chances of success increase dramatically, as this tour may reveal to you.

Open source software is free, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and using it requires courage and learning.
We hope you enjoy the tour!
