Web Design
At a very minimum, all of our sites are built upon the WordPress framework. Among other things, the key advantage to this is being able to update, add and remove content yourself from your own word processor style of environment. This gives you added flexibility, and allows for maximum return on your investment.

Joomla
Joomla is another Content Management System, but is more suitable for larger organisations.

An example would be in using WordPress as a small magazine style site with up to about twenty pages of content, and comparing it to the likes of RTE Television website, where there are multiple contributors with a vast array on content type.
