Custom Code and Design

» Applications

Little Filament has experience customizing a wide array of Open Source software, as well as creating it.  Open Source software can be a great way to save time and money, but it has it's own set of problems.  We can help you consider all of the available options for your need, and select the solution that is right for you.  There are many well written, well tested and highly used Open Source projects, and we specifically recommend a few different options.

Content Management - Joomla!

joomla_soldev_sm Joomla! is our CMS of choice, and a great way to create an easy to edit, easy to manage, powerful and elegant website.  We have years of experience with Joomla!, in fact, we love it so much we built this site on it.

Shopping Cart - OpenCart

OpenCartE-Commerce is big business, and there are a huge array of solutions.  We have tried many, and have come to love OpenCart.  This is a great Open Source solution for small to medium stores.  There are lots of features, including digital downloads, lots of gateway integrations, product reviews, and more.  If you have any needs that aren't included, we can put together for you with ease.

Collaborative Knowledge Sharing - MediaWiki

MediaWikiWiki's are an information sharing solution that is as unique as the Internet itself.  We can create and enhance a custom  wiki for your needs using MediaWiki, the same software that the huge Wikipedia system runs on.  Depending on your needs we will select and write a suite of extensions that will satisfy your need for collaborative editing.

Analytics - Piwik

PiwikKnowing when and where visitors are on your site is key to successful marketing and management.  All sites we create come with an account on the Open Source analytics package Piwik.  Much like Google Analytics, this tool will help you monitor traffic on your site.  Unlike Google Analytics, the tracking information in Piwik is stored locally for as long as you care to keep it; Google Analytics is only guaranteed to exist for 25 months.  We recommend combining Piwik with the advanced features of Google Analytics and Quantcast.
