Web Software & Configuration
What looks simple, most of the times isn’t. On this website we had to use 12 different commercial software programs and 16 free GPL3 licenced software to create this nice and clean looking website. The focus from the beginning was to follow the "rules" in order to have the best possible SEO results while also having visitors impressed with the facility.
