Websites

While there are many ways to construct websites I have chosen to focus the majority of my time on the Joomla content management system. It is used by thousands across the globe and provides a great combination so flexibility, security and ease of use.

One of the motivators for utilising a CMS is the notion that the client can update the content of the site without needing to resort to costly and complex tools, typically just a web browser. Another key attractant is the ability to overhaul the look and feel by simply uploading a new theme.

The portfolio below provides a snapshot in time of past projects. Each one modified to suit the individual requirements of the client.
