MORE IS MORE (NETWORKED DISTRIBUTION) and WEB CONSULTANCY

MORE IS MORE

The More=More Network is a web based system for distributing independent media for sale at local outlets and events. Members can also input contact information about their local area; book shops, meetings, gatherings and share this with everybody to help build the distribution network further.

Our dream
The network has been born out of Mute's long standing experiences of distributing a magazine internationally and seeing conventional channels just not working. The More=More Network provides a way for people with local knowledge to be rewarded for getting media to audiences and for supporting independent media producers by contributing to a sustainable economy.

DRUPAL and CIVICRM CONSULTANCY

Drupal and CiviCRM are two major Open Source web platforms. Drupal (link http://drupal.org ) is an all-round tool box offering simple site configuration and content management to cutting edge interactive tools for community sites of any scale. CiviCRM is a 'constituents relationship management' platform that integrates with Drupal, allowing for the integrated handling of contacts database features.

OpenMute has worked with these two systems since 2005 and offers consultation, implementation and hosting for web initiatives seeking to take advantage of new cost-effective and user-friendly platforms.
