Joomla Websites

Joomla Logo

I specialise in dynamic database driven websites that use the Joomla! open source content management system. The Joomla! framework provides an efficient way to create websites with dynamic elements and advanced functionality. As a designer/developer I design Joomla! templates and modify the core code as required.

There are also thousands of Joomla! extensions, which enhance its features and functionality, a number of which I regularly configure, style and re-code as required.

From this structure I can then add additional functionality in the form of custom JavaScript and/or Flash content.

I write a clearly written User Guide and provide training for all Joomla! websites I create, and can provide ongoing assistance if required.

The Main Benefits of Joomla!

Most areas of the website may be updated by the client using a browser based system.
Multiple users can be set up with varying levels of access.
Joomla! uses Open Source software known to many web designers - this means that there are normally no license fees and you are not tied to a particular supplier. However, some extensions may require a one off or annual fee.
A flexible and scalable platform, that allows a website to adapt with an organisation.
Much of the Joomla! functionality is modular and can be added as required - helping to simplify content management.

As a general point, content management systems permit many of the more important aspects of Internet Marketing. Quality content is the main factor in achieving increasing visitor numbers and inbound links, and the ability to add additional information regularly is key.
