Technology
The WORKSsitebuilder CMS solution is built on the tried and tested combination of PHP and MySQL. These robust open source technologies are used by some of the busiest websites on the internet. They have proven themselves to be extremely fast and reliable, added to which they are free from any licence costs which dramatically reduces the cost of ownership.
We can also implement enterprise level iterations of WORKSsitebuilder with multi-site, multi-caching and multi-lingual design, as a 'true blue' Microsoft solution built from scratch on the .NET platform. The enterprise level WORKSsitebuilder CMS solution provides scalability utilising either SQL Server or Oracle 9i.
