Do you have a website already?  Looking for assistance getting that new feature working, or fixing a problem caused by a new release of a web browser?  SourceCoast can help.

Common Types of Support

While SourceCoast's primary areas of support revolve around the Joomla and Drupal CMS platforms, we also bring a wealth of knowledge to table regarding other platforms, hosting environments, and general training assistance.

Feature Implementations

Is your website missing that key feature to draw in more users?  Whether you know of the component that you're looking to have installed, or need one developed from scratch, we have the skills necessary to get the job done for the right price.  SourceCoast developers are skilled in php coding and component development for both the Joomla and Drupal CMS platforms.

Security Upgrades and Patching

Open-source platforms are wonderful environments because of the quick pace of development and large user-base willing to contribute to create more powerful features.  However, open-source also means that malicious people can determine flaws in the code quicker, and take advantage of them more easily when found.  If you have a CMS that hasn't been upgraded in over a year, you could be at severe risk.

For example, Joomla 1.5.0, released in January of 2008 had 6 patches released during it's first 6 months with most addressing low-to-moderate security vulnerabilities.  Drupal 6.0, released in February, has had 4 such patches over a similar period.  This isn't to say that these technologies are inherently insecure or less-safe than closed-source alternatives, just that, like any software, you need to be careful.  The fortunate thing for open-source software is that vulnerability fixes are released quickly due to the 'many-eyes' approach.  With closed-source software (Adobe Air, Microsoft ASP, Microsoft Silverlight, etc), the trend is that patches are released slower and vulnerabilities are exposed longer for websites using these solutions.

Patching a system usually takes 1-2 days, and does not interrupt your current website's functionality.
