Joomla! Open Source Content Management

Joomla! is different from the normal models for portal software. Joomla! has been developed as a content management system for the average website, but has a feature-list that can transform an average website into a world-class site in a matter of days.

Joomla! is licensed under the GNU/GPL license; it is easy to install and administer and is highly-reliable. Once Footprint Media completes the initial installation and configuration, Joomla! doesn't even require you as the user or system administrator to know HTML to operate and update the site.

Joomla! features:

• Completely database driven site engines
• News, products or services sections fully editable and manageable
• Topics sections can be added to by contributing authors
• Fully customisable layouts including left, center and right menu boxes
• Browser upload of images to your own library for use anywhere in the site
• Dynamic Forum/Poll/Voting booth for on-the-spot results
• Runs on Linux, FreeBSD, MacOSX server, Solaris and AIX

Extensive Administration:

• Change order of objects including news, FAQs, articles etc.
• Random Newsflash generator
• Remote author submission module for News, Articles, FAQs and Links
• Object hierarchy - as many sections, departments, divisions and pages as you want
• Image library - store all your PNGs, PDFs, DOCs, XLSs, GIFs and JPEGs online for easy use
• Automatic Path-Finder. Place a picture and let Joomla! fix the link
• News feed manager. Choose from over 360 news feeds from around the world
• Archive manager. Put your old articles into cold storage rather than throw them out
• Email-a-friend and Print-format for every story and article
• In-line Text editor similar to Word Pad
• User editable look and feel
• Polls/Surveys - Now put a different one on each page
• Custom Page Modules. Download custom page modules to spice up your site

Footprint Media Joomla! Services:

Footprint Media is commited to Joomla! and uses it to power this website. We provide the following Joomla! services:

• Installation and configuration
• Search-engine optimisation
• Component, module and mambot installation, configuration and modification
• Template design
• Conversion of existing websites to Joomla!

Hosted Joomla! Development Site:

To complement the above Joomla! services, we also issue clients with an installation of Joomla! on our web space. This Development Site can be accessed by visiting http://clientid.footprintmedia.net with your web browser and entering your authentication details. This enables you to see your custom template in operation before publishing it on your server.

You can install, configure and modify any additional components, modules and mambots (aka plugins). Perform all your development on your Footprint Media test site, then download a backup and install the finished product on your own server - a new site without a minute's downtime!
