What is Joomla?
Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular Web site software available.

What is a content Management System?
A content management system is software that keeps track of every piece of content on your Web site, much like your local public library keeps track of books and stores them. Content can be simple text, photos, music, video, documents, or just about anything you can think of. A major advantage of using a CMS is that it requires almost no technical skill or knowledge to manage. Since the CMS manages all your content, you don't have to. Basically, if you can use a browser such as Firefox or Internet Explorer and have the skills to operate a program like Microsoft Word, you can maintain a website built using Joomla!.

Why Re-Invent the Wheel?
All our dynamic websites or website elements are built using the PHP scripting language. For databases requirements we use MySQL databases, and we obtain advanced functionality by adopting, and modifying existing Open Source solutions. Our Favourite is Joomla and for e-commerce we use Rocket Cart for simple applications and Virtuemart for a fully functional online shopping cart solution.

Open Source software is free from the licensing expense that goes with most other highly functional content management and e-commerce systems. Joomla and other Open Source software have created a revolution in web technology. Many firms including Microsoft, have dominated the CMS market in the past with offerings costing many thousands of pounds.

Although it seems to good to be true, that highly functional CMS and e-commerce systems are available at very little cost, it is!
