twenty4 provide a tailored Content Management System (CMS) depending on your needs. twenty4 use open source CMS software such as Joomla! and DotNetNuke or can custom build a CMS based on specific needs.

Joomla is an amazing content management system and is what this website runs on. Joomla uses PHP and MySQL. Millions of dollars worth of person-hours has gone into developing the software and it is continually being improved upon.

I would be wary of web design companies that are still using their own custom written Content Management Systems for every web application they create and charging clients thousands, sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars for a license. Sometimes custom CMS's are required and still have their place but ever-increasingly an open source solution is a far better and cost-effective option. Joomla! is continually being developed and improved and is now at Joomla 1.5 Stable status with 1.6 on the way, Joomla 1.5 fixes many of the limitations of the current CMS and is refreshing to see a team with so much enthusiasm putting so much time and effort into such worthwhile project. The demand for Open Source software is continually growing and increasingly larger coroporations like IBM, Nasa, New York Times and Google are turning to Open Source for a solution - If you would like to learn more about the people who define the open source standard you can visit www.opensource.org
