Joomla CMS websites

According to the Jooma website.

"Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular Web site software available. Best of all, Joomla is an open source solution that is freely available to everyone."

A CMS is a content management system, this means once set up you can log on and edit and make changes. The website will then show those changes immediately. This s great for many users who want to or need to update their websites. You don't need to pay us to do this, you need little experience as editing a page is similar to editing in a word processor, and we can easily teach you to do this.

Therefore you can firstly update your website in real time when you need to and save money on having it updated!

AND!!! Joomla is free!. However it does need to be set up and set up properly, also there are some additions that you may want, like nice templates, slideshows etc and these can cost money as they are written by independent developers. But a lot of these item are relatively cheap.

So why do you need us? Well it needs to be set up, made secured and set to look and function how you want it to be. Also it needs to be set up to be found in the search engines or no one will see it no matter how good it is.

Once running, it will need maintaning, backups taken regularly, updated for security etc.

Wordpress started life as a system for mainly blogging. However now it is one of the largest CMS systems used worldwide. Many major companies and projects use Wordpress and whilst for some it is not as "serious" as say Joomla or Drupal it is very polular and easy to use. A whole industry has begun to make great Wordpress websites that are easy from the user side.

Website Design

Obviously we create websites!!!

We can use CMS systems like this site where you can log on and edit update it your self, and we offer full training and support for this. Sites like this are great to save you money in updating, allow to keep it up too date and fresh.

We design sites in PHP and html. Many sites we have created are totally custom sites from the ground up. We can also create banners, graphics and many exciting add-ons like slideshows and other multimedia items.

Sometimes you have an idea, sometimes just a look based on your business style and stationary sometimes you have no idea! We will work with you to find a site that is usable, effective and presents your online presence to the work in a way you feel reflects the best of your business.

Also we have access to many great template design ideas where we can point you in the right direction and save on the costs of a totally from the floor up project.

When we are working with you, we first after consulting you provide a quotation. This will detail what we have agreed with you, costs and time frames. 

Our terms our simple. You pay upfront the domain name costs, any extras for purchased add-ons and templates is we are using them and aprox 50% of the total project cost.

You pay the balance ONLY a) when it is complted and b) you are totally happy however long this will take.

Usually we start with a temporary website so we can start the SEO process, Recently we had one website featuring in the top 5 results of google even though it was only 50% completed due to the client being busy. We dont want to rush a project but it needs to be found as soon as possible so you can start to get a return on your investment

Website Hosting

We also hosting in 2 forms.

We run a number of servers, usually fully dedicated servers. These are high end specifications in secure advanced data centers with 24-7 support and maintenance. Our websites are spread amoungst our server to spread the load for our clients so if we have a problem most websites wont be affected and also we can easily move sites around.

Most of our clients are hosted on our servers. Also we cross backup our servers between them so we have daily site backups in different locations.

Some clients have their own hosting and we can also maintain and support these websites.

We can offer hosting for clients we do not do their websites. Currently we are planning to set up a new service for Cyprus clients for this and will shortly announce this.

If you need hosting at the moment please contact us and we can give you a price.
