Many businesses simply require a simple 4 or 5 page site to act as a brochure. We are happy to provide such a site.

However these days many companies require more of their website. As a business owner you may wish for the freedom to update your website yourself, to be able to add text and pictures without having to ask your designer to do it for you. You may also wish to run applications on your website, such as an online newsletter subscription, an events calendar or an online forum for your customers, or even a full e-commerce system.

Setting up your site to use a content management system does require more work than a simpler website, and so it is a more expensive option. However we believe that the results are worth paying for, providing you with a dynamic and vibrant site, that will work successfully to draw in new customers for your business.

There are many content management systems available which can be employed: we believe that the best for most purposes is Joomla!®.

Joomla!®**

Joomla!® is a popular open-source content management system. It is used around the world to create hundreds of thousands of websites. We believe that it is an ideal CMS for most business sites for several reasons:-

• It is easy for business owners to add and edit their text and images using the built-in editor - no knowledge of HTML is required
• There is a wide range of extensions available for Joomla!®, including e-commerce and newsletters
• There is a professional standard admin section allowing for streamlined site administration

The administrator panel is pictured below.

You can find further information about Joomla!® at www.joomla.org.
