What is Joomla?

Joomla! is a traditional, open-source, web-based CMS (content management system) and has a number of benefits to the user. It has an easy workflow, can manage multiple variations of its template, meaning flexible layouts and is good with SEO. Using the Gantry framework as a foundation we can create bespoke flexible layouts that are responsive for websites on mobile devices.

Bespoke Joomla! development

We have built plenty of websites using Joomla! as a content management system ranging from small marketing sites to larger investor-related websites for plc clients in the building and architectural sector. While many websites start off using a commercial theme as their basis, and certainly with a solid framework like Gantry each website design requires customisation. We are able to provide module and component development for Joomla! as well as managing simpler layout overrides giving each Joomla! website we have produced a bespoke finish. See for example the search pages on the Willow Management website.

Maintenance and support for your  website

It's essential that your website software is kept up to date. We monitor all our client websites and are alerted to important updates, ensuring that your website will be running the latest, most secure version of core joomla software and extensions. Take a look at our Website Management page for more information. 

Learn how to use Joomla!

We are happy to provide training on how to use Joomla. We are based in East London, so DJA are conveniently placed to visit clients on-site as well as providing email and phone support during UK office hours. Coming to any new system can be confusing and frustrating, however, we believe using Joomla! as your content management system can be simple and rewarding. We can show you techniques to:

  • create quick blog posts
  • add pages
  • create forms
  • master website creation with Joomla! as your website's backend

Training can be conducted one-to-one, by Skype or through a series of bespoke tutorials. Take a look at our Learn Joomla page, for more information on what we can do for your business.

See our website management page for more information on our clients and ongoing services.

Webhosting for Joomla! websites

We have hosted websites with a number of companies over the years, using shared hosting, virtual / cloud servers and dedicated hardware in UK data centres. There are a number of reasons for using a particular webhost, which include security, bandwidth, location, global reach, to name but a few. For Joomla! websites we always look for:

  • speed
  • security,
  • ease of management,
  • security
  • reliable support

These are all benefits we can pass on to our customers. However, if you want to be billed directly for webhosting, even if we provide the setup and liaise with the technical support teams, we would recommend SiteGround. We're happy to discuss hosting options with you so please contact us for further information. 

Joomla! to WordPress migration

With the rise in popularity of WordPress we have worked with clients to migrate their websites from Joomla! to WordPress. This can be a fairly quick process but the templates that work with Joomla! won't work directly with WordPress. We can provide technical know-how to export your site. We can also provide you with reasons why you may want to stick with Joomla! as your CMS.
