Open source describes software for which the source code is open, unlocked and accessible to anyone. Open Source encourages programmers to add customized modifications according to the needs of the developer, the website owner or the website development company. It’s possible to develop websites with an open source content management system (CMS), and thus adapt the website’s structure to the client’s requirements. In addition, various studies show that distributing open source software allows the business owner to create even more multiples of links to his website, enjoying a superior amount of traffic as well as more extensive exposure.
