Choosing the right platform and software for your online projects is often ignored or left up to what the developer wants. In most cases this works out, but some companies could benefit from a more informed choice. I'll help you decide what is best for your business and online requirements.
Trends vs Results - as with everything new trends appear and people are told they must do something or must use specific software. I prefer to look at what will produce results in the simplest format.
Keep your options open - By using an industry standard platform you'll have lots of options for developers and people being able to work on your website. Packages and frameworks limit the available resource, and should be chosen with specific goals in mind.
KISS - Keep it simply secure - I try not to use many packages, frameworks and code libraries. I cannot guarantee the security or if they are fit for purpose. Patches and updates need to be applied and you will probably require some form of ongoing support contract. Keeping the technology simple and secure is the best option for most.

Linux
Apache
MySQL
PHP

CSS
