I’m Jesse Sivonen, Software Developer and founder of Pala Software. I’ve worked with web development and open source software basically for my whole life. I’ve seen how important it is to be efficient when developing smaller web services: the competition is rough and money has to be made, even at the cost of information security.

The tools are not always the most flexible and accessible for the professionals that use them. Even if they are, they don’t allow artistic freedom while also being extensible. I feel like maintaining web service is a chore that nobody wants to take, or they even avoid it, to focus on “more productive work” that brings more money for the company.

I stumbled upon these issues when developing web services myself. That’s why my business turned into designing and developing tools to solve these problems. Now I want to be part of a sustainable solution that makes web development tools better for the people within the industry.

Pala Software offers software solutions that enable designers to build web services, like websites, web stores, or reservation systems, more freely and effectively. We offer the solutions as extensible and open software, and also as a service, so that you don’t need to worry about maintaining the servers yourself. We offer support to enable you to develop your services sustainably and without unnecessary worries.

Web design and development professionals need an open and extensible platform to produce web services efficiently and effectively while taking into account the changing industry and the needs of customers. Our solutions offer tools to build web services independently, reducing dependency on third parties, which results in better information security and lower maintenance costs. The solutions scale with your business with the help of a multi-tenant system and support for many different hosting providers.

Freedom

We want to offer tools that don't restrict development of web services, or force their appearance.

Safety

We want that secure web services would be the norm.

Openness

We want to follow free and open source software principles and values.
