In order to minimise our impact on the environment, this website and all our web hosting packages are provided in a carbon neutral manner with trees being planted to absorb more than three times the carbon produced by our servers.

Drupal is an open source software package that allows an individual or a community of users to easily publish, manage and organize a wide variety of content on a website. Tens of thousands of people and organizations are using Drupal to power scores of different web sites.

Open source software is computer software for which the source code and certain other rights normally reserved for copyright holders are provided under a software license that is in the public domain. This permits users to use, change, and improve the software, and to redistribute it in modified or unmodified forms. As an example, the Apache Open Source web server software (used for our website packages) is used to power 55% of all websites and over 66% of the million busiest.
