The CMS we use.

When a project calls for it, we use the JOOMLA Content Management System (CMS). There are many benefits to using a CMS. Some of these benefits are:

  • Decentralized maintenance.
    Edit your site anywhere, anytime using a common web browser. This removes bottlenecks and allows for new content on a consistent basis (Important for SEO).

  • Designed with non-technical content authors in mind.
    If you can type an email, you can update your site. No HTML knowledge needed.

  • Configurable access restrictions.
    Users can be assigned roles and permissions that prevent them from editing content which they are not authorized to change. Additionally, content can restricted from view and presented to specific User groups.

  • Consistency of design is preserved.
    CSS provides assurance that content stays separate from design. All content from all authors is presented with the same, consistent design.

  • Navigation is automatically generated and adjusted.
    Menus can be generated automatically based on the database content and links will not point to non-existing pages thereby negatively affecting SEO or confusing search spiders.

  • Content is stored in a database.
    Distribution of content is simple. This means that content can be reused in many places on the website and formatted for any device (browser, cell phones/WAP, PDA, print).

  • Dynamic content.
    Extensions like forums, polls, shopping applications, searching, news management are modules that can present ever changing content for keyword hungry search spiders.

  • Cooperation.
    Encourages faster updates, generates accountability for authored content and cooperation between authors.

  • Content scheduling.
    Admins can schedule content to appear at a later date. EG. One could concievably populate an entire month's worth of content in one sitting and schedule the content to present online throughout the month.

We train clients.

We've built an online video training site for Joomla that has quickly become one of the most popular Joomla video training sites on the web. Other design companies around the world use MyJoomlaCast.com to train their clients as well.

If your project calls for using a CMS, rest assured we're using one of the most reliable and powerful Content Management Systems on the planet.
