Content management system and components

We put websites onto the Joomla content management system. Why should you want a Joomla content management system?

• You can easily update and change your website yourself
• There is an enormous range of plug-in components available for you to use
• You can have the source code to your website licence free
• There are a huge number of web developers around the world that can support your website

With the Joomla framework, you are paying for us to put together your website from pre-existing components and customise it to your needs rather than simply coding.

Website components - what you can plug into your site

There is an enormous range of plug-in components for the Joomla content management system. In addition, we can create a custom component for specific requirements.

Some of the most common plug-in components that we use are:

• Shopping carts
• Email marketing
• News modules
• Photo galleries
• Forms and form builders
• Events booking
• Search engine friendly URLs
• Google maps
• Calendars
• Membership and community modules

In addition, we specialise in developing custom programming to create exactly what you need.

Information only sites (brochure sites)

The vast majority of websites online simply contain information. For many businesses, this is all they require - a straight forward website that represents their business in the most appropriate way.

Some great information sites that we have created include:

• Inspiring Lives
• LFS Legal Services
• Ikonomidis Reid
• Melbourne Bakehouse
• Regal Mattress Outlets

(Please note: some of those sites have more than the basic package)

Some popular upgrades to consider are: Flash animation, search engine optimisation, photo galleries and other components.

eCommerce / shopping carts

Selling products online is a great way to make your products available to the world.

We use a shopping cart plug-in for your content management system so that you can add and change products whenever you like.

We also use a credit card payment gateway secured using 128 bit encryption provided with an SSL certificate and static IP address.

We have developed a very good process for assisting you to prepare and apply for an Internet Merchant Facility from your preferred bank.

Some of the ecommerce websites that we have created include:

• Gita Yoga School
• Marita Madden
• Dementia Care Australia
• Exambiz

Custom programming

We love the opportunity to create custom website components.

Do you have a project that you require custom website development?

Some of our favourite custom programming projects include:

• Exambiz - a sophisticated exam booking system primarily for students studying through Open Universities Australia
• Career Management Group - an online survey tool for corporations to review their staff''s careers
• Dementia Care Australia - an integrated membership based site with specific requirements
• Gita Yoga School - several custom areas including e-postcards, maps and more

Often, the best way to commence in custom programming projects is with a Scoping Study ($2,500 plus GST). The Scoping Study starts with a questionnaire and then develops in a half day workshop. This is documented into a Scoping Study which specifies exactly what you would like achieve. It enables us to provide a fixed price quote based on the specifications.

Under construction pages (1 page sites)

Do you need a temporary holding page? We have two options:

Option 1: Generic holding page
$200 plus GST

We have a template that we can quickly fill with your details and put online. This makes a great holding page where you are building another site or you do not expect much traffic. It means that if people do stumble across your site they can get your contact details.

An example is Colotti Cabinets.

Option 2: Customised holding page
$500 plus GST

If you would prefer something based on your branding (logo, colours etc) we can design and upload a one page holding page. This is more appropriate if it will be a longer time before you construct a full website or you expect traffic to go to the site.

An example is Life By Creation.
