What is Joomla?
So you want to create a dynamic, database-driven site that can be updated quickly and easily without needing a degree in database design, web design and web programming? Joomla is a feature-packed content management system that enables you to do just that. Best of all our server environment has been fully tested with Joomla meaning you can be sure it meets all the essential requirements, including PHP & MySQL.If you have an existing Joomla site and want to transfer to another host we can help you make the process as speedy and painless as possible. If you are completely new to Joomla and want to set up your first content managed site we are also here to offer advice and support. We can help on topics such as:
* Installation
* Databases (backups / importing)
* File Permissions
* Configuration
* Templates
* Installing/configuring modules and components
Joomla Features:
* Free Joomla modules and components are continually being developed by other Joomla users which can be installed on your site adding new functionality such as online shops, photo galleries, glossaries, discussion forums… the list goes on. There is even a Joomla extension for Dreamweaver MX which you can use to design your own templates in your favourite application!
* Beautifully designed and extremely easy to use back-end administration area where you manage all aspects of your site’s content, users, admins, components and modules.
* Ability to integrate a WYSIWYG editor (What You See Is What You Get) enabling you to not just edit text content, but also format it e.g. colours, styles, lists, links etc.
* 100% template based meaning it’s easy to create your own layouts and the integrated template switcher means you can quickly change between layouts to compare them. There’s even a free ‘Template Creator’ module which takes you through the process of creating a template step-by-step.
* Complete control over when articles are published (by setting start and end dates), photos associated with each article, links in the main menu.
* Easily create password protected areas and allow your visitors to sign up as users and submit their own content.
* Search Engine Friendly URLs option – some other content management systems produce lengthy page addresses that some spidering search engines choke on. Not so with Joomla.
