Open Source Software

Had a meeting today with a client about a new website we are looking to create and we were discussing Joomla or Wordpress and the benefits they provide to the end users. So I thought I would just briefly sing the praises of Open Source Software and why it has several benefits over closed source proprietary software.

Take Joomla for example, it has 1000’s of developers working on it, either directly or indirectly by posting bug fixes on forums. Basically by using open source software you are gaining the benefit of these 1000’s of developers working on a product that is essentially “free”.

Whereas if you use closed source Proprietary software then you have to hope that eventually that they fix that niggling problem you have :)
