Technology
Evolution Web Development utilizes open source technology. All of our development efforts are built on a PHP/MySQL database platform and usually hosted on Unix servers. MySQL is a database platform designed expressly for use on the Internet, rather than adapted to it.
Open source technology is often but not always free: licensing fees are not unusual. Open source differs from closed source (i.e., Microsoft and other proprietary software providers) not only because it is less costly to purchase in the first place, but more importantly, open source doesn't require additional licenses as an installation grows.
Furthermore, open source technology has over and over again proven itself more reliable and flexible than proprietary technology. CIOs worldwide are making the switch to open source as they become convinced of its stability and ability to allow them to react more quickly to business demands. Today, the majority of websites are hosted on open source servers, and the majorityof business applications online are open source.
