Why does it matter?

Open source is one of the most influential forces behind the internet as we know it today.

It gives both developers and clients a convenient, flexible foundation to build on.

Open source software is accessible to everyone, so every user can choose the code that fits their needs.

Successful open source projects attract engaged, high-quality communities that keep improving the code and support the new people who start using it.

Users of open source software get the source code itself, which means they are free to modify the software.

Two well-known examples are Joomla and Drupal, both relatively approachable systems built on open source code.

Open source also grows the user base, which helps a platform adapt its features to a very wide range of users looking for solutions tailored to their own needs.

More and more people prefer open source platforms. Visually, the difference may not be obvious, but the convenience and accessibility outweigh the need to depend on a single developer.
