Veda Informatics, a fast-growing internet visibility optimization company, has launched www.open-source-developers.com, offering website development services focused on the needs of individuals and small businesses. Start-ups and small businesses are typically tight on funds, but cannot forgo having a web presence.

Open source platforms are ideal for such start-ups, as they give developers the flexibility to use software that is free, reliable and can be customized for high-end applications without any license issues. However, what makes this technology daunting for small organizations and start-ups is the fact that open source technologies are by and large decentralized and usually need technical assistance to ensure that they yield the right results.

According to DP Information – ACE Start-up Enterprise Survey (STEPS) released in March 2009, the top two challenges faced by entrepreneurs are raising capital and manpower issues. The report added that 90% of the start-ups have recorded a slowdown in sales due to the economic downturn. Against this backdrop, it has become even more crucial for companies to target a larger market, while keeping the reins on expenses. This is possible only by establishing an online presence through open source.

Harish Agrawal, the man behind the launch of open-source-developers.com, said, “The global downturn has been particularly rough for start-ups. Open source technologies represent low cost solutions, while offering the flexibility and customization demanded by entrepreneurs today. We understand the challenges faced by start-ups and small businesses and can recommend the platform that best suits their needs and business model.”
