The ability to control your website content and structure is a very attractive feature for more website owners. Whether you use it to provide support to customers, allow your customers to communicate, or simply as a promotional tool, Mambo can provide all this and more...

"Mambo is a 'free' web-based content management system, which allows its users to create, organise and update content using a web browser, without the need to know the web technicalities usually involved in producing content for the web.

Mambo was developed 5 years ago by Miro International to be a simple to use web publishing system. It was released to the Open Source community and since then has been developed by members of the community into one of the most powerful Open Source Content Management Systems available."

Mambo is very popular due to its price (free), features, and the ready made templates and mods available. While anybody can download the code, it generally requires knowledge of website design to install and setup the website correctly.

"Mambo is a full-featured content management system (CMS) that can be used for everything from simple websites to complex corporate applications. While the number of Open Source content management systems continues to grow at a fast pace, Mambo's rich feature set, long history and stable codebase continue to make Mambo the preferred choice of many professional developers. The list below provides an overview of the features and benefits of Mambo, but without focusing in depth on the technical architecture."

Based in Bournemouth, Dorset, we can offer Mambo websites at very affordable prices. As Mambo developers and designers we can customise the website to your needs and usually use one of the hundreds of ready-made design templates as a basis for the design. This keeps costs very low. We can also incorporate extra features into the website if required and integrate the features into your existing website.

Whether you require help installing Mambo, setting it up, or would like a fully featured website we can help.
