Website build + development

We know that as a business you want the most return from your website design investment. To keep costs to a minimum, we build all of our sites using Joomla - a content management system which is available for anyone to use. Joomla is a world-class product, with no ongoing license fees to pay.

We will set up your website and then provide you or your staff with training so you are able to update and modify your own website. You are not locked into any contract agreements or liable for annual license fees, meaning your website build is a once-off investment for your business.

-About the Joomla content management system

What is Joomla?
Joomla is an open source content management system. We recommend Joomla as this software gives you the ability to update and maintain your own website quickly and easily. Joomla is used all over the world for everything from simple websites to complex corporate applications. Joomla! is easy to install, simple to manage, and reliable.

What is an open source content management system?
Open Source Software is a program where the underlying code has been made available to the public. Typically this type of software takes a collaborative approach as a wide community of programmers are constantly updating and adding features to the core software.

Why use open source software?
Put simply, Joomla is very cost effective. Typically with proprietary software there are annual licensing fees. With Joomla, there is a one-off set up fee - no ongoing costs+. Having your website built in Joomla means you are in complete control, free of contracts and licensing fees.
+ Additional plugins/extensions may incur extra charges.

Will Joomla suit my requirements?
We have worked with many professionally designed software packages, content management systems, web design packages and email marketing software, and we've found Joomla to be just as good as any other commercially developed application. Joomla is as robust, reliable and feature-rich as any of the professionally designed packages available.

What will my Joomla website look like?
Joomla has thousands of themes to choose from. All of these themes can be customised to suit your company's branding/corporate theme. Many elements of a theme can be modified (colours, menu structure, width, font size, layout of modules, etc.)

Does Joomla allow extra features into a website?
Joomla currently has over 4,000 plugins/extensions to make your website more interactive. Some of the plugins/extensions available are:-

  • Photo galleries
  • Shopping carts
  • Event calendar/registration
  • Search engine friendly plugins
  • Forums
  • Directories
  • Statistics
  • Sitemaps
  • Tag clouds
  • Podcasting
  • Polls

"Peter designed a website, SEO strategy and training plan that fits our needs perfectly. Peter built a smart new site for us using the powerful Joomla CMS. The site has proved easy for us to maintain, adaptable and extensible, and adding exciting new functions is a snap! Technically, the site has surpassed all of our expectations, and is much easier to maintain than our old site.

Peter's outstanding training has given us the skills to manage and develop our new site with confidence. He taught us how to use the Joomla interface and how to make our site search engine friendly as it grows.

And wow, it is search engine friendly. We flew to page one on most of our search terms within a couple of weeks of the new site's launch!”
