Website Development
There are many ways to build a website. I came from the 'old school' where the websites I designed were hand-coded in HTML using a simple text editor. I learned all the versions of HTML, and CSS and Javascript to deliver high quality websites for small to medium businesses. Over the past year or so, I have discovered the benefits of utilizing a content management system and templates. The greatest benefit has been that I spend less of my time to do updates & changes for my clients and my clients have lower maintenance costs since they can make their own changes to their content!
Joomla!
Joomla! is a free open source framework and content publishing system designed for quickly creating highly interactive multi-language Web sites, online communities, media portals, blogs and eCommerce applications.
Joomla! Extensions
With thousands of extensions that can be added to Joomla! to provide the functionality you need, your website wont 'just sit there'. Let me assist you in designing a fully functional website by selecting the appropriate extensions.
Design & Style
The design and style of your website can be easily acheived by using templates with your Joomla! CMS. There are several template companies from which to choose, and hundreds of templates to fit your style. Once a basic template is chosen, it can be altered and given a makeover so it matches the purpose of your website.
Templates
Templates can range from simple 'styles' or 'skins' to the addition of functional modules and extensions which are integrated with the overall look-and-feel.
YooThemes & RocketThemes
The templates I have the most experience with are Rockettheme and Yootheme. Both have great looks, and both also offer additional functionality built into the template.
