About our site

We are firm believers in open source and contributing to the ‘net as a whole. We’ve developed several WordPress plugins and themes in our time and for that reason have chosen to use WordPress with a theme designed to be used as a CMS.

This has enabled us to be able to easily update and control the site, while still having a professional look and feel. Our theme is based on CMS2 by Bos89 with quite a few modifications.
