Custom Design Implementation

For casual Joomla user, Joomla does not allow the luxury of designing your own graphics or layout instead they are couraged to choose from hundreds of thousands of templates available for Joomla on the internet. To implement a custom design you will need Joomla experts like us to integrate your custom design in a Joomla system. If you require any changes to basic Joomla functionality and design scopes, you need developers like us to hel you with.

Joomla Pros

Joomla is fast and easy to use once you understand how it works. There are hundreds of support extentions, plugins and modules. It is very easy to create and operate a multilingual website with Joomla. It is an open-source platform and the website can be extended easily.

Joomla Cons

You cannot integrate other scripts etc. to your site. No SEO out of the box, URLs are not search engine friendly without plug-ins or custom solutions. Server resources utilization is more compared to drupal. Only one site per installation. No Single Log-in to several sites. No User groups & permissions.

Joomla Performance

If we look for a suitable Joomla extension, we will most likely find a component to do everything you could want (for the most part).  The problem is that some of these components are really inefficient and wind up slowing your site down dramatically.  We would enable Joomla's core content cache.  It does speed things up when viewing content and modules (mambots don't need to be processed each time the page is loaded).  From the Joomla config, we would enable debugging.  Then view your site, and check out the database queries being executed.  We want this number to be as low as possible (under 30 preferably). We would optimize the tables, and optimize the schema.  The difference, is that the tables are how the tables actually store the data, and the schema is how they are supposed to be stored in the database.

Bottomline

Many companies and organizations have requirements that go beyond what is available in the basic Joomla package. In those cases, Joomla's powerful application framework makes it easy for developers to create sophisticated add-ons that extend the power of Joomla into virtually unlimited directions.

The core Joomla framework enables developers to quickly and easily build:

• Inventory control systems
• Data reporting tools
• Application bridges
• Custom product catalogs
• Integrated e-commerce systems
• Complex business directories
• Reservation systems
• Communication tools

Since Joomla is based on PHP and MySQL, we can be building powerful applications on an open platform anyone can use, share, and support.

Arguably, smart smaller companies, organizations and individuals have been building and using websites powered by the Joomla Web Content Management System for some time. However, now Joomla has indeed been "discovered" by well known brands across the globe. Therefore, it's not unreasonable or even unpractical to be used on your business website.
