Introduction to the Open Source Website - part 1

s-go Consulting has been creating Web sites to open applications, content management system source since 2003. It was in 2003 that an engineer who I worked with showed me a Harley Davidson Club site he had built from phpWebSite. He charriait my spirit. He had a database with the ACL user, cool photo albums, an interactive calendar and many other features. I could not do the same thing with sites of tens or that I had built since 1997 to FrontPage and Dreamweaver. Thus, I was not in the business of web design until I saw a CMS!

I was going through a rough period between 2002 and 2004. In 2001, I left the company I had founded, technologies of glyphs. I CEO and grew the 9 years to be a dominant brand on the market of audio production company. I bounced around for a bit of 2002-2004 looking for my next job large/offer. In 2003, I started a new business part-time, s-go Consulting my home. Once I saw the CMS phpWebSite in action, I became very interested and start working with it. In late 2004, I heard about an application called Mambo. It seemed much more polished and professional than phpWebSite and the community was much more active. I've immediately abandoned phpWebsite and began learning Mambo, as it was far superior.The model and the selection plug-in was much larger .j ' created in fact two Mambo sites for customers in late 2004, at the beginning of 2005.

After a few cases unsatisfactory job, I decided to start and run my a marketing consulting firm full-time human m.s - go Consulting launched offering a wide range of services, including sites Web CMS built with Mambo. I opened a new Office in my little village of Spencer, NY on April 1, 2005.

Then a crazy thing happened. In August 2005 after getting comfortable and happy with Mambo 4.5.2, there was a fork in the project as a group of core developers had a disagreement with Miro international Pvt Ltd, the original developer of Mambo. Developers of core development a website, Open Source Matters and September rebranded Mambo 4.5.3 as Joomla!1.0. I had my first serious decision.Continue to use Mambo or I trim my new Joomla group car? after having spent considerable time in Mambo forums, I knew that the real talent and players left Mambo and created Joomla.It was a facile.Nous decision not to build another Mambo site after September 2005.

Approximately 150 sites Web Consulting, s-go done live with Joomla and applications open source.Tandis we offer other services marketing (as video production, graphic design), Web site development and hosting is the largest part of our turnover / and we love the most.
