About Us
Makawak Solution strives to offer the most efficient, highest quality and lowest cost solution possible. We believe that just because the price is low doesn't mean the quality should be. The Internet is full of websites using outdated technologies and designs. We've also found that web developers are asking for a lot of money for very simple sites.
We believe that this should not be the way, and that web solutions and all technological solutions should be affordable and used with the state of the art technology. This is why we offer solutions with prices for the average person in mind. What would cost you $300 just for the software and no solution elsewhere will cost you for everything here.
How?
A question we get asked a lot is how can this be? Well there are two ways. The first is solution providers out there realize there is a demand for solutions, and with limited competition at first they could set there prices pretty high. Once more competition came out they stayed around the high price however the prices for technology have dropped a lot over the past 10 years.
The other way is we do not use commercial software! We use a variety of open source software which means you will never pay for the software provided unless it is one that is custom created for you. In any other case all you pay for is the solution using the software.
Technologies
Most of the technologies used are open source which is what allows us to have such low prices. However since not all here is a complete list;
Websites – Drupal
Blogs – Wordpress
Office Databases, Forms – OpenOffice
Custom Apps – Visual Studio
Branding - Photoshop
A Brief History
Makawak Solution original started in 2004 under the name Sunrider Solutions. The purpose of Sunrider Solutions was to provide custom training and computer repair as well as a game development section. This was meant only as a means to help friends and seniors learn how to use a computer to do what they wanted to do with it, and to generate an extra source of money while attending college.
In 2007 Sunrider Solutions went on hold as the owner graduated early from college and began a full time career. It wasn't until late 2008 that his father expressed interest in learning web design that plan to begin the company part time began.
So early 2009 Sunrider Solutions was renamed to Makawak Solutions, a nick name for the owners last name. However services have been expanded to cover the wide range of demands on the market and prices remain low to allow users to have quality solutions during the hard financial times.
