Cuesta’s 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.

The Cuesta Web development system uses state-maintenance programming (without cookies), programmable, dynamically-generated Web pages with database extensions, a Web page component architecture, sophisticated forms technology, very detailed visitor tracking, a super-fast database search engine, and secure transaction processing.

Unlike competitors' products, OpenPages provides a comprehensive, integrated solution to the problem of creating commercial Web sites. Because it uses an Open Systems approach based upon industry-standard high level programming languages and widely-adopted technologies, OpenPages is not subject to the limitations of vendor-proprietary applications.

"Cuesta's OpenPages combines the flexibility and easy learning curve of the Tcl scripting language with other Web development languages such as HTML and Java. The result is an ingenious system that allows highly interactive, complex Web sites to be constructed amazingly quickly."
