Testimonials

testimonial

The requirements for our website was complex. We needed a website that could grow potentially to 16 million objects with full text search and RSS capabilities. Earlier attempts based on other CMSs including WordPress had failed. Grafware implemented the system using Plone with a unique architecture and also provided custom scripts to facilitate content creation, helped us take the website live and maintain the site particularly during periods of high traffic.

testimonial

We were delighted to find the PloneboardSubscription add-on created by Grafware! It is thoughtfully designed and provides users with a great deal of flexibility in self-managing their email subscriptions to whole discussion forums, or just individual threads. We commissioned Grafware to enhance the product to provide some specific additional functionality that we required, and they completed the work promptly and to a very high standard at very reasonable rates. We look forward to working more with Grafware on other Plone add-ons.

testimonial

Grafware was a pleasure to work with. They provided the quote right away, were available immediately and the work was done quickly and accurately. They even handled the few tweaks that we needed upon installation of the software. Grafware will definitely be our first choice for further Zope/Plone development.
