Turnkey Web Solutions

All of Cytrus's websites are built for non-technical content management and administration. As a basic platform for the development of interactive content, Cytrus uses Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP (LAMP).

Joomla is typically used for sites that require mostly user-managed content.

Cytrus CMS is the Cytrus 'Swiss Army Knife' content management system, combined with CakePHP for technically advanced content sites.

Apache, mod_jk and Tomcat are used for sites that require a high degree of technical integration and/or the development of Java-based web services.

Performance Optimisation

Cytrus hosts sites for companies that are critically dependent on their online channel, and that can lose millions if their site is down for even the shortest period of time.
