What does ‘open source’ mean

Open Source refers to ‘source code’ that makes up software that is openly available for anyone to read, modify and distribute.

• Main Con: malicious users can see the source code allowing for potential exploitation (hacking!)

• Main Pro: a large number of people inputting to the development of the code

Choosing the right tool for the job

WordPress: Hugely popular. Easy to use. Best for blog or simple business sites.

Joomla: Very popular. Not as simple to use as WordPress, but lots of scope for adding functionality.

Drupal: Similar to Joomla, but requires more technical knowledge than Joomla.

Magento Community: Example of full e-Commerce solution.

The cost of Open Source

• What can a none-geek do at home and when would you typically need help from a developer?

• Rough estimate for small WordPress site?

• Rough estimate for large e-Commerce site?
