Standard Package Features
Our websites come with a set of standard features that are unmatched in the dynamic website industry. Many companies offer website builders that have simple interfaces and accomplish relatively simple websites. Joomla is a different type of website builder. It puts you in the driver's seat. Our basic packages come with the core Joomla installation plus a few extras that we know are necessary for any website. These extras give you a powerful framework to build upon that many hosting providers charge monthly for.
About Joomla
Joomla is dynamic framework, installed on your web server. Joomla is free for you to adjust, modify and most important add onto. There are no recurring monthly costs other than your website hosting. Some websites that currently use Joomla as their backbone are MTV Quizilla, IHOP, parts of Harvard and even financial giant Citibank uses it for part of their intranet. Check out Joomla.org for more information on the core Joomla features.
Standard Website Package Features
Sitemap Generation
Our Joomla Installations come with an extension installed that dynamically creates sitemaps based off of menu items in your installation. In addition to following the menu items, it also follows calendar events, forum posts and FAQ items. Rest assured that all new content will be picked up by search engines crawling your website.
Website Statistics
Website traffic flow is key to understanding what people are attracted to on your website. With every package we include the Joomlastats component. With this extension, you are able to see every visitor to your website, who they are, what page they started at and the entire path they followed during that visit. This information is vital in researching trends and popularity when analysing your website content.
Custom User Profiles
Customer identification is key to retention. Knowing pertinent information about your registered users will allow you to target market and successfully advertise to those who have shown interest in your business. Our sites come with adjustable user profiles allowing you to add fields of different types, disable or enable the pre-defined fields and set those fields required for registration. It has a built-in Terms of Service agreement allowing you to protect yourself and your business. With our user profile extension you will be able to control what information you have about your customers, from detailed applications to simple name and email signup.
SEO/SEF Friendly Linking
A common argument against Joomla is the complex linking system used in the base links, out of the box. What they fail to mention is the extremely flexible rewrite system that allows the site URLs to look exactly as they do on this site. Although it is complex, once understood it becomes powerful. Our sites all have the rewrite system enabled on our servers and in the framework as well, allowing your website to appear as if you spent thousands on custom development. If you are not making use of this system, you are not using Joomla to it's potential.
Design Support
Most important of all, our designers will be there to help you decide on what your business needs are and help you decide a path to follow. Remember all projects are built a la carte and can be added upon at any time. No idea is too big.
