At Bizar we think building a website is like buying a car. It shouldn’t be a one size fits all approach. Everyone wants a Ferrari, but does it fit your budget? Is practical for the family with two kids and a dog?

Many developers don’t take these needs in to consideration. Instead they pride themselves on a inventing something that fits everyone.

We should know, we spent years doing just that. Whilst this was successful, and we’ve produced some great sites with our own Bizar Shop software, some open source applications have now overtaken what we can produce in-house.

Today, we help our clients identify their needs and future needs to best place them in the appropriate technology. Not the technology that best suits the developer. We continue to push our own software further for existing customers, but we now generally use one of three open source technologies to best achieve new client’s objectives.

Many of our rivals make outlandish claims about how their product is so amazing it suits everyone, but chances are it’s not true, or if it is, maybe you’re paying for features you don’t need?

This diagram gives you an idea or the solution we would recommend for you, either as a new project or as an upgrade from Bizar Shop. While we’re on the subject of Bizar Shop, we still host it , but longer formally support it or make any changes to the source code or it’s templates support it.
