Opensource Frameworks or Opensource Web Application Frameworks are libraries of classes and other code which is intended to assist in the development of websites, web applications and web services. The idea is that a framework will reduce the overheads associated with performing common development activities including database access, caching, AJAX, configuration set-up, session management, etc.
At Techies we believe that frameworks can greatly increase the return on investment for most web applications. Different opensource frameworks provide various advantages and disadvantages, meaning choosing the right framework for the project is a critical factor for long term success. Our experience and knowledge of various frameworks in different languages gives us a key advantage in advising our clients and partners.
We regularly develop plugins, modules, add-ons and extensions for various opensource applications. Our clients often find that taking an opensource application and modifying it to meet their needs provides much better return on investment for them, rather than building a custom application from scratch.
Our experience of opensource applications and frameworks enables us to build modules and plugins more rapidly, efficiently and securely – while still adhering to coding best practices. We have built all types of plugins from payment gateway intergration systems to project management modules.
Below are some of the opensource applications which we can build plugins and modules for:
- WordPress
- Joomla
