Joomla Web Design

Arcas are proud to be specialists in the Joomla 1.5 open source content management system.

What is it?  Simply put this is a free system which allows you to quickly and easily update your website without any web design knowledge whatsoever. It is developed by a community of people across the world, therefore it is not proprietary and all the information on how to use the system is freely available on the Internet.

There is also a vast number (currently over 4500!) add-ons for the system to allow the basic functionality to be extended quickly and easily - for example image galleries, ecommerce systems and forums.

IN FACT WE LIKED IT SO MUCH WE REBUILT OUR OWN SITE USING IT!

Joomla is so flexible and easy to use that almost ANY site design can be integrated into the system.

ALREADY HAVE A WEBSITE?

No problem!  The vast majority of websites can be fairly easily converted into a Joomla site - even if you aready have an existing content management system.  And once this conversion has taken place you instantly have access to the thousands of wonderful and easy-to-add-on extensions for the system!  For example:

• Image galleries
• Blogs
• Forums
• Advanced forms
• Facebook/Twitter/My Space and other social networking sites integration
• Calendars and events listings
• Ebay-style auction listings
• Newsletters
• and much more!

The Benefits

1. IT'S FREE!
   Joomla is developed by a large community of people who want to create the best content management system possible. Nobody owns it and it's free to use!
2. LESS EFFORT - MORE POWER!
   Since Joomla is developed by a community of people across the globe it is extremely powerful as different people with different skills can all contribute in their own way. The costs for a design studio to develop their own CMS are often extremely high and this is reflected in the prices they charge.
3. OVER 4400 EXTENSIONS AND COUNTING!
   As of June 2009 there were over 4400 extensions for the core Joomla system to add on greater functionality. Most are free!
4. CONSTANT UPDATES
   Joomla is constantly being updated to ensure it remains secure - you can patch it yourself or get us to do it for you!
