We consistently get asked by clients what platforms which we use to build our web sites.  While their are many great blogging, e-commerce and CMS platforms available we like to keep things simple and focus on just the following.

1. Blogging:  Word Press

2. E-commerce:  Magento

3. CMS:  Drupal & Joomla

The reasons whey we prefer these plaforms is that all of them are Open Source, widely used with healthy online communities, thousands of extensions and plugins, and use PHP & MYSQL.
