Our philosophy for web development is to leverage from other people’s talent and to prevent reinventing the wheel by using open-source software. Open-source is a peer driven production whereby millions of programmers around the world, contribute to one application. Wikipedia.org – the world’s largest encyclopedia, is yet another peer production where every contributor’s “code” (encyclopedia entry) is openly available.

The Key Benefits of Peer Production for Businesses are;

1. Harnessing external talent
2. Keeping up with users
3. Boosting demand for complementary offerings
4. Reducing costs
5. Shifting the locus of competition
6. Taking the friction out of collaboration
7. Developing social capital

We use WordPress as a content-management-system for the websites we build. Often, we work from an existing template and customize to the client’s brand for a quicker turn around and lower cost. We specialize in WordPress website development for small businesses, artists, online magazines, and more. It is an open source application, which means a community built program that has a million minds improving it daily.

osCommerce is a shopping cart application designed to sell merchandise online by mail order or digital download. It allows for processing credit card and even debit card payments over a secured connection and automated shipping quotes with Canada Post. Many of these features are also available for WordPress, but osCommerce is better suited for larger product catalogues.
