There are numerous website designers and developers offering services on the Internet. But developing a comprehensive and versatile website is not a job for one-line specialists. Designers can create graphics and templates, but they are not experts in search engine optimization or functionality or marketing. The development of the website cannot be done exclusively by programmers or engineers. They can be very good at JavaScript, PHP, etc. They can create custom scripts and plugins, but they can fail miserably at high-end SEO or marketing design.
It would be wise to invest in a good developer for your website project to fully meet the goals you have set and create a brand that attracts good traffic.
First, you need to hire a development company with a proven track record of at least 5 years. You can verify the credentials by looking at their portfolio and confirming if they are good at meeting the goals you set. You can ask for references from some clients that the company is working for or has released and called them for details. If some reputable resources, such as the Joomla directory, Joomla forums, twitters, etc. have words about the company, then you are in the right direction. Then you should contact the developer company and request more details to assess their expertise in describing the details. Finally, you need to request a detailed statement of the work deed in which all the details of the work's execution are set out.
The right Joomla developer would be good at design, custom programming, SEO, and understand marketing, positioning, and value propositions. One of the leading Joomla development companies in the UK is Hyperlink InfoSystem. We have developed many websites and web apps using Joomla and other top content management systems. We write clean and future-oriented code, taking into account the product's requirements in terms of scalability and fast response times.
Joomla Features
Joomla is equipped with excellent features compared to other CMS. Some of which are:
The Great Flexibility
Extendable definitions of any content and their structuring make it possible to create very different applications, from company presentations to completely individual information systems.
Strongly Suited For Community Sites
Due to the sophisticated rights system and the various functions for communication between users, Joomla is ideally suited for sites with social interaction (Web 2.0).
A particular strength are the particularly adaptable modeling options for user groups, authorizations and assigned content.
In addition to its own functionality, Joomla has excellent options for seamless integration of all common social network services.
Powerful CMS - Framework
The framework creates modules that are compatible with one another and enables flexible, individual extensions. Data, business logic and presentation level are neatly separated from one another. Individual extensions fit seamlessly into the overall system.
Multilingualism
Joomla makes it possible to provide all content and administration menus in multiple languages. The structure and links are retained, different automatic assignments of web addresses (URLs) to languages are possible - unlike other systems in which content has to be copied and practically the entire structure has to be maintained several times.
High Security
Joomla achieves a recognized high level of security. For example, Joomla is approved as a platform for government websites. Among other things, websites of governments and websites of large companies with high user traffic were created worldwide with Joomla.
Scalability
This is another advantage of using Joomla over WordPress. Currently, Joomla is compatible with the most active sites globally, such as Twitter, The Economist, or Weather. Its scalability allows it to be able to handle regular traffic spikes or a large volume of visitors. Joomla offers plenty of configuration options and enables short response times even for very large websites.
Strong Developer Community
Joomla is supported by a uniquely active and large developer community that is second to none. This makes Joomla particularly innovative and powerful when it comes to new solutions and the support of standards. Joomla is free software, without any restrictions in use. There is no cost to purchase, use, or maintain the generally available software.
Benefits Of Joomla
Joomla offers its users a multitude of functionalities and thus also makes it interesting for large companies. There is no license fee for using Joomla which is a great advantage compared to other content management systems that require a license. Because the costs for a CMS in particular can be extremely high and may limit the development of new, individual applications. Thanks to the large community of developers at Joomla, there are already a large number of expansions that meet almost all common requirements and are consistently further developed. Important background information and practical tips are also provided by the Joomla.
