| !!Use Only What You Need
|
| Bitweaver is completely modular. Just because bitweaver has a lot of features doesn't mean you have to use them all. Install the modules you need, and turn off those you don't. It's easy to add any features that the bitweaver developer community may come up with, such as the ((GmapPackage|Google Maps Package)).
|
|
|
| This extensibility is great for site admins who want to be able to set up a robust site and customize it to their needs without having to do any technical work. And when you want to add on your own custom features, bitweaver is ready for you.

| Virtually all bitweaver template pages have been checked for XHTML 1.0 Strict compliance. We don't commit until all errors and warnings have been dealt with. We must admit, this is a lot of work, but our templates are now easy to read and work with. Our page load times remain short because we strip all our templates of excess white space.
