Open Source Content Management Systems

Drupal, WordPress, Joomla... and others

There are a wide range of CMS tools available, some proprietary (built by businesses) others that are developed by the open source community.

A number of open source Content Management Systems have matured through ongoing support and development, and because they are good products, and so more and more users are increasing the use cases of them.

While many open source products do not offer professional quality and stability many CMS products do. Drupal, WordPress and Joomla for example are 3 very popular and flexible systems used worldwide.

Ireckon prides itself on understanding, having experience and supporting the better tools available so that we can provide objective advice to our customers. With the speed that developments are occurring in online products we need to ensure we are able to provide clear upgrade paths and support to our customers to get the very best solutions to them.

Each system has its own variances, methods and options, we provide advice based on the best tool to suit the job, rather than sticking to just one product because it is easier for us. We provide full hosting for these products which means you get the high performance from a high quality network, full backup and support for your site but the low cost setup for the CMS.

There are many benefits of using an open source Content Management System:

• Value for money - there are no ongoing monthly maintenance or development fees
• Constantly growing - open source software is community driven and new modules, extras and add-ons are constantly being developed by its members
