Approach
Templates, usability, and a platform that stays free
A template changes how the site looks — front-end for visitors, back-end for editors.
Joomla is easy to learn, quick to set up, and 100% free. You do not need to program to launch a site, but the open codebase lets us add a custom module when you need something unique.
Scope of work
A free CMS that is quick to set up
Joomla publishes content through MySQL or PostgreSQL, with templates for visitors and editors. We install, customize, and extend it — new sites or a rebuild of an older one.
Versatile
Joomla is used for government, education, media, corporate sites, shops, and blogs. One CMS covers a wide range of site types instead of locking you into a single layout.
Easy to use
You do not need to program to set up and customize a site. When you do need something unique, the open codebase lets us add a custom module no other site has.
Extensions
Thousands of plugins, templates, and extensions extend the site without starting from scratch. Joomla stays 100% free, with front-end and back-end templates you can shape.
Versatile enough for government, education, media, corporate, shops, and blogs
Versatile enough for government, education, media, corporate, shops, and blogs is scoped in discovery so it matches the people who will actually use it.
Easy to learn and quick to set up without programming
Easy to learn and quick to set up without programming is built in the delivery sprints, not left as a post-launch extra.
Editorial system
Members get a door. Everyone else gets a public site.
Joomla’s access levels are the editorial system — a logged-in area for partners or staff, and a public site that does not leak those pages.
On the public site
Public Joomla sites
Marketing and content sites visitors can read without a login.
More from our CMS work
Joomla sits with WordPress, Shopify, OpenCart, and Drupal. Open another page when a different platform is a better fit.
