We have built our website on the Joomla! platform. Joomla! is a leading open source content management system (CMS) which delivers sophisticated solutions for all types of organizations. It can provide a robust enterprise-level Web site with many extensions that enable you  to publish, organize  and store all the content you need, and offer different interactive features for your users. Yet,  Joomla! is simple to deploy and use.

Joomla! is free, released under an Open Source license - the GNU/General Public License v 2.0.  If you had to invest in a commercial alternative to Joomla!, the cost for customizing and adding all the extra functions you want could run into hundreds or thousands of dollars in development costs.

Joomla! is different from much of the content management software available. It is relatively easy for non-developers and designers to use. Joomla! is designed to work primarily with other Open Source, free, software such as PHP, MySQL, and Apache. And, it is reliable and relatively easy to install and administer.  Once it's up and running, Joomla! doesn't require the user or administrator of the system to know HTML to operate it.  

It does take some time and effort to get your Web site customized for look and feel and add any extended functions you may need. Do-it-yourselfers can lean on the Joomla! Community for support and use free or commercial Joomla! templates. It helps to be familiar with content management systems in general. 

However, many businesses and organizations prefer to outsource the setup of their new Joomla! websites.  For a free, no-pressure estimate contact dwinter@ This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
