WORDPRESS
WordPress is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL. Many government agencies and educational institutions have opted for open-source solutions rather than proprietary options. This allows for flexibility in future vendor relationships.
Like most firms with open source clients, we share our work with the world for the betterment of all developers, decreasing security vulnerabilities and fostering a culture of inclusion.[/fusion_text][fusion_button link=”/solutions/wordpress/” color=”custom” size=”large” stretch=”no” type=”flat” shape=”square” target=”_self” title=”Learn More” button_gradient_top_color=”#333333″ button_gradient_bottom_color=”#333333″ button_gradient_top_color_hover=”#222222″ button_gradient_bottom_color_hover=”#222222″ accent_color=”#ffffff” accent_hover_color=”#ffffff” bevel_color=”” border_width=”0px” icon=”” icon_position=”left” icon_divider=”no” modal=”” animation_type=”0″ animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”1″ animation_offset=”” alignment=”left” class=”” id=””]LEARN MORE[/fusion_button][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container][fusion_builder_container admin_label=”” hundred_percent=”no” equal_height_columns=”yes” menu_anchor=”” hide_on_mobile=”no” class=”” id=”” background_color=”#e5e5e5″ background_image=”” background_position=”left top” background_repeat=”no-repeat” fade=”no” background_parallax=”none” enable_mobile=”no” parallax_speed=”0.3″ video_mp4=”” video_webm=”” video_ogv=”” video_url=”” video_aspect_ratio=”16:9″ video_loop=”yes” video_mute=”yes” video_preview_image=”” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” padding_top=”60px” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”40px” padding_left=””][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_3″ layout=”1_3″ last=”no” spacing=”yes” center_content=”yes” hide_on_mobile=”no” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” hover_type=”none” link=”” border_position=”all” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” padding=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”0″ animation_direction=”down” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” class=”” id=”” min_height=””][fusion_text]

OPEN SOURCE CANVAS LMS DEVELOPMENT
Canvas has a growing market share and is the fastest growing enterprise level learning management system. Instructure also releases a full open source version of the Canvas LMS as freely available platform, and Navigation North has been working with clients to benefit from the robust features that Canvas offers, while enjoying the flexibility, cost-savings, and data privacy of self-hosting the system.
Our team can deploy, customize, manage, and even host your Canvas LMS system.
