Cuesta's OpenPages Web Site Technology
Cuestas unique "OpenPages Toolkit" allows us to quickly construct complex, interactive Web sites. "OpenPages" uses open systems and component architecture to construct e-commerce and business Web site solutions. "OpenPages" is a UNIX-based rapid application development environment that creates cookie-free, dynamically generated Web applications with database extensions. All solutions are independent of vendor-proprietary applications.
