Joomla Web Design - $1850

Joomla is an open source content management system (CMS) that keeps track of every piece of content on your web site, much like your local public library keeps track of books and stores them. Content can be simple text, photos, music, video, documents, or just about anything you can think of.

Joomla can be used to build:

• Corporate web sites or portals
• Corporate intranets and extranets
• Online magazines, newspapers, and publications
• E-commerce and online reservation systems
• Government applications
• Small business web sites
• Non-profit and association web sites
• Community-based portals
• School and church web sites
• Personal or family homepages

Since Joomla is powerful and (relatively) easy to use, we can quickly build sophisticated websites that have an amazing array of functions. From within the administrator control panel you will have a huge range of tools at your fingertips. Our web designers can design your Joomla websites and you can change the content and do many more functions via its simple and easy to use administrator panel.

If your website needs specialised functionality, then Joomla is the right solution! Joomla is highly extensible and thousands of extensions are available in the Joomla Extensions Directory (most for free under the GPL license) so integrating such components as a shopping cart, forum, or blog is a quick and easy task. You can even add these extensions as your web presence evolves.

Why do we recommend Joomla?

1. Joomla has many extensions (add-ons) so it can be scaled up very easily (and cheaply) - http://extensions.joomla.org

2. Joomla is widely used, so there is plenty of support for it including help forums and books (see, for example, Joomla books on Amazon).

3. Joomla is search engine friendly and this is an important consideration for marketing your website on the Internet.

4. Joomla is open source and so is free to use, so you save significant amounts of money given the functionality that it has built-in.

5. Most good web developers can program Joomla - so there is no shortage of professionals that can assist you with your site.

6. There is a very active development community for Joomla - so there is a regular upgrade path and security patches are released regularly.

What else can you build with Joomla?

Many companies and organizations have requirements that go beyond what is available in the basic Joomla package. In those cases, Joomla's powerful application framework makes it easy to create sophisticated add-ons that extend the power of Joomla into virtually unlimited directions.

We can integrate the following functionality into a Joomla website. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

• Inventory control systems
• Data reporting tools
• Application bridges
• Custom product catalogs
• Integrated e-commerce systems
• Complex business directories
• Reservation systems
• Communication tools

Since Joomla is based on PHP and MySQL, we would build powerful applications on an open platform that anyone can use, share, and support.
