"I am absolutely delighted with the site that Water & Stone designed for me! The whole experience has been stress-free, very professional and I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone. I particularly like the personal and friendly service and how decisions were reached through close communication so that the end results were guaranteed to be a success. I have also found that the after-care advice has been fabulous and any help I need has been offered without hesitation. I would like to thank the Water & Stone team sincerely for all of their hard work!"

Website Development
A Content Management System (CMS) allows you to easily add to and adapt the content and functionality of your site. A good CMS enables the website owner to maintain the site without the need for specialized (or expensive) programming skills. Basically, if you can use a browser (like Internet Explorer or Firefox) and have the skills to operate a program like Microsoft Word, you can maintain a website built on any of the systems we recommend.
water&stone promotes to our clients Open Source software solutions. Open Source is free of charge and does not include expensive or limiting licensing fees. The ROI on open source products is extremely favorable and this gives you the added advantage of being able to focus your budget on design and customization.
The emergence of powerful, flexible, Open Source CMSs is truly a revolution in web technology. Firms like Interwoven, Broadvision, and of course Microsoft, have in the past dominated the CMS market with offerings that started well over US$ 10,000 (plus plus PLUS)! While it may seem too good to be true -- that highly functional CMSs are now available without licensing costs -- it is true.
We strongly recommend obtaining advanced functionality cheaply by adopting, and if necessary modifying, existing Open Source solutions. We deliver content-oriented websites using Joomla!, Drupal, WordPress or Magento. We deliver ecommerce site using either VirtueMart or Magento.
Use the links on the left to explore the various systems and learn more about each. If you are unsure which system best matches your requirements, just ask; we normally provide consultancy to clients who have yet to identify a preferred platform.
