Free and Open-Source Software Solutions

Free and open-source software (FOSS) refers to software that is free and open-source, though in this case “free” as in free speech as much as in low or no cost. FOSS is free to use, copy, study, change, and distribute. Utilizing FOSS platforms instead of proprietary software allows DesignHammer to minimize licensing fees as well as review and extend code to customize software when appropriate for a given project. We have been working in FOSS technologies, such as Drupal and WordPress, to deliver small to enterprise-scale projects for over 20 years.

Drupal
WordPress
Django

Custom Development

While off-the-shelf Free and Open Source (FOSS) content management systems will provide the greatest ROI, they don’t always meet the workflow or user experience expectations that our clients envision. For those that are willing to accept a lower ROI, DesignHammer can extend existing open source functionality, develop custom modules/plugins, or develop a full custom solution using technologies such as PHP, Vue.js, Node.js, Python, and Electron, among others.

If you use Software as a Service (SaaS) products or other third-party systems such as internal databases, DesignHammer can seamlessly integrate these technologies with your project, often allowing for improved efficiency and user experience for users and/or staff. Some third-party SaaS integrations that DesignHammer has extensive experience integrating include:
