Our Philosophy
We believe in the importance of education. We believe that systems should be created as simply as possible. We reject the notion of artificial complexity for the purpose of confounding the consumer.
Applications and products should work, and interested parties should be made aware of how they work, and encouraged to tinker on their own, thereby resulting in improvement and innovation.
What we do
OpenWeb Solutions is a strong believer in the power of open source. Our business, applications, and development processes are carried out on open systems and programming languages. Our code is open as well, enabling the client to fully understand their application, and make edits as desired. A portion of our profits is used to support development of other valuable open source software.
Although most applications are web-based, we offer desktop as well as web-based applications that can communicate with each other. Check out some of our services for more information.
