Why should you opt for a CMS?

Many companies find it difficult to keep their web site content as up to date as they would like. Often there are delays getting new content online, the site stagnates and your clients get to see outdated information. That’s why so many companies are turning to CMS.

A CMS web presence allows you to manage your web site even if you have no technical knowledge, experience with HTML or web site design. It also reduces the calls to your web design agency or IT department for changes to the web site. CMS reduces the time required to publish, allowing you to get your content on-line faster. This is a very important issue for any professional web site.

What exactly is Joomla?

Joomla! has become 'the' most powerful Open Source Content Management System on the planet. It 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.The name 'Joomla' is Swahili for 'all together'.

The difference between Joomla! and commercial CMS solutions?

Unlike commercial solutions that offer different versions according to your budget, Joomla! is available in just one 'all encompassing' version - and it is cost free. Many commercial CMS solutions boast a vast array of modules - in some cases up to 80 of them. Joomla! offers an awesome amount of extensions that currently numbers at 4028. Joomla! has an active community of more than 200,000 (validated) friendly users and developers.

A big advantage you should not overlook...

If your company or organization hires a third party Joomla! developer or builds in-house software using the Joomla! framework, you are building on an open platform that does not tie you to any one design company, developer or to a proprietary, closed application. You own your site and can develop it with anyone you choose. This is of huge importance if things begin to go wrong with your current design company. Be smart - use Joomla!

All those "elements" that constitute Social Media & Web2.0 can be usefull and sometimes mandatory for your online business strategy.

Just don't worry, we will guide you through these exciting features and help you choose those who make sense for you.

When it comes to graphic design for websites, clients usually have a very clear idea of what they are looking for. Most of the time this idea looks more like a very beautiful shopping window than truly as website.

Only established brands can expect potential clients to browse the web looking for thebrand.com .
