FAQ Categories
Please select one of the categories below:
- What can Joomla do for me?
You should do your research at Joomla.org. We believe that Joomla is the best Content Management System (CMS) out there. It has a vast community and a scalable future direction. The Joomla community has created extensions that take the Joomla framework out of its intentional content management job. While we like the diversity, we try and encourage our customers to use Joomla first as a content management tool and secondly for its other possibilities.
- What are bugs?
There are two types of bugs you need to be worried about, ones that crawl into your house and ones that show up in you website, and for the same reason, you don't want your visitors to see them. Program bugs are errors in programming. They usually happen because the user uses the program in a way that the developer hadn't intended or predicted. The majority of bugs that you need to be worried about with Joomla come from third-party developers and the clash of components, each may work in their own right but one may cause unexpected results for the other, causing an error flag. For instance, a SEF component modifying a URL that another program requires to be unmodified.

- What is a template?
A template is basically a PHP file, a CSS file, and and XML file. Each is required to make a template work in Joomla. The PHP file brings all the various Joomla elements into a viewable HTML page. The CSS file, takes the most time, because it forms all the various elements into an aesthetically pleasing form. Usually the difference in templates is made in quality CSS. The XML file is basically a list of all the files that you are including in your template, including images, and scripts. This file registers all template elements with Joomla.

You can have us install the components for you for a small fee, they will then be guaranteed and updated, if any errors occur we will be responsible for fixing them. Please note, if the program is faulty of flagged by Joomla we won't install the component and will advise not to do so also.
