Joomla Development

Home \ Web Development

Joomla is one of the most popular ^[1][2] open source content management systems on the Internet, with a strong community of users and developers. Joomla is suitable for beginners and hobbyists as well as professional web developers. Here as Web Design Hero, I offer services that can help anyone who wants to build a website or needs help with Joomla specific manipulation.

Ready-Made Application

Ready-made applications are complete software products for use on the Joomla! platform. I currently offer several applications for both Joomla! 1.5 and Joomla! 1.0, including JoomlaDate and RSS solutions including TotalRss. Ready-mades are developed after evaluating current offerings and requests on the Joomla! forums and other discussion points on the Internet such as LinkedIn. These software extensions are ready to serve their purposes and include full documentation. They can also be customized or used as the basis for new projects. Ready-mades also include tools and scripts to help with management, development, and site diagnosis. Some products have been retired, but to see all my ready-mades check out the Web Design Hero store by clicking here. I am working on new ready-made applications in-between core and custom projects. If you think you have a good idea for a ready-made product that the market needs, please feel free to send me a suggestion.

Custom Extensions and Third Party Modifications

I have experience writing Joomla! extensions from scratch and I am well versed in the Joomla! API. Whether it is a plugin, module, components, or third party tool I can help you with your Joomla! coding needs. I will work with you to understand and define your project needs and goals.

Joomla Education & Troubleshooting

Whether you are a developer moving from a different platform to Joomla! or you just need help learning how to run your small business or community website, I can provide the help and support that you need. I can help you work on specific concepts or tweak your site configuration to meet your needs. Through modern technology, I can share your screen to show you where code errors are happening or exactly where you need to click to get to that hidden settings – live on your own screen in real time, no confusing or poorly written tutorials. In the past, if you were not experienced the promise of building your own Joomla! website provided a steep learning curve with all the related technologies. Now, I can not only help you fix your problems, but teach you how it is done. I offer one-on-one help globally through screen-sharing and voice-over-the-internet technologies and I offer in-person help locally in north Chicago and the NW Suburbs.
