Joomla Website Design Process

Choose a Name for Your Site

There are a few simple rules to consider when choosing a name for your site.  It should be:

  • short
  • easy to remember
  • easy to spell
  • easy to pronounce

If you meet all of these requirements, the viewers will be able to find you easier.  If it is a word that's often misspelled, consider getting that domain name as well, and put a forward on it to the real domain name.

To Joomla or Not to Joomla

That is the question I get asked all the time.  Which is the best software to use?  Is Wordpress better for a blog than Joomla?  What about Drupal?

Joomla has the larger market share than the others, so more development is being done in that arena.  You can just about name a topic and there is an extension that will get the job done.  Some extensions work better than others, so do your research carefully.  But I get ahead of myself... that's for another topic in the future.

Hosting a Joomla Site

I recommend WorldICS.com to all my clients.  Their hosting packages start as low as $6.95/mo. when paid on an annual basis and includes cPanel backend, with Fantastico which allows for easy upgrade to all Joomla versions. 

They understand the importance of staying current which makes my job easier when a security upgrade is available.  The service is the best I've ever had.  No site is too big for them to handle.  So whether it is a small "billboard" style site you want, or a mega-eCommerce site with thousands of items for sale, they can take care of you.
