Configuration of Complex Joomla CMS and CRBM Platforms
Joomla is a powerful framework for delivering Complex web portals. With over 4700 extensions and counting, the largest developer network in the world and the most user friendly interface has made the award winning Joomla CMS the fastest growing open source CMS project perhaps in the world. With millions of users and enthusiasts from all around the globe and a low cost of entry this is quickly becoming the dominant content management system (CMS) for small businesses (SMB's) and even larger enterprises and institutions. As Joomla integrators and Joomla Component Developers we deliver complex Joomla configurations for a wide variety of customers.
There are several layers in deploying a Joomla CMS project. - Planning and content architecture
- Template Design and graphics
- Components and Configurations
- User experience
- Customer Programming
- Legacy System Integrations
- SEO and Marketing
- Joomla User Training
- Ongoing Technical Support
Just to name a few... With any technology there are different points of entry depending on the experience and technical aptitude of the humans interacting with the system. We (our CNP Consultants) try to help folks "Get the most value out of their technology investment". Yea you will see this in our marketing but this is much more than hype. Value can be the key to success or failure. Among the biggest mistakes we have seen folks make and even made ourselves are:
Common Mistake #1
Just because you can do something with technology does not always make it practical.
I have personally implemented many powerful tools that accomplish their intended functionality but they actually never get used to their full potential by the end customers. While these were fun for us to build as developers and to see something cool that works, it did not really serve any of us well since our clients customers do not use them and thus they have a significant investment.
The key here is determining first the business priorities of the project and then making sure everyone is listening to the needs of the end customer. Just make sure you are clear why you are doing something and assess.
Stay focused on what your customers are saying and what will yield the greatest return.
Technology implementation can be a never ending pit you throw money into. If you are building your site for the shear ego of having a beautiful site with all kinds of creative features,of course we love to work with entrepreneurs with big ideas. However, like any relationship and any good investment a long term strategy is often much more practical. Our consulting customers get good advice about products and services that can grow their business or allow them to continue to get value from their investments.
Technology is a moving target
One of the many reasons we got behind the Joomla CMS project as a core competency was because it was open source which offered freedom and scalable options for solving the greatest amount of business problems. We took the gamble from the trends in the market place that Joomla would continue to grow with features and stability and that the developer community would continue to be attracted to the Joomla framework thus building more confidence in the market place. An innovative and scalable open source platform like Joomla is a perfect foundation for meeting technological challenge.
