Joomla!

Joomla is the perfect website choice for small businesses and SME in Scotland, and Hobo specialises in professional Joomla website design, hosting, installation, development and management. What is Joomla? Joomla is an open source content management system (a CMS) that you build a website “on” which then makes editing a website very simple indeed – with very little training anybody can learn Joomla in a matter of hours and days, and Joomla enables an administrator the options of changing text, images and website navigation & structure, all at the touch of a button.

We love Joomla! It’s actually suitable for any organisation that has a lot of content to organise online. Hobo have had the pleasure of designing Joomla websites for national companies, brand names, colleges, the NHS, charities, corporates and many small businesses throughout Scotland, and indeed the wider UK.

There’s a reason it was voted “best open source content management system”, you know.

Joomla is a fantastic product on it’s own, because it has an active community supporting it, but there are many plug-ins and extensions to expand on what this cms can do. You can make Joomla CMS into a simple 5 page website, you can turn it into a forum or a blog, you can add a gallery, calendars or booking system. You can use Joomla to manage client contacts, to manage an online library of documents, podcasts and videos. You can set different levels of access, so some users can edit some sections of the site, while others cannot. You can almost do anything with it.

We’re a Scottish web design company that’s passionate about Joomla website design. We build modern looking Joomla websites to industry standards, that are highly tuned (optimized) to work in Google. Our stylish Joomla websites download fast, are easy to edit and are easy for visitors to use.

There are no licenses with Joomla. Once you have a website, you own it. You can do what you want with it, and Hobo will support you with a professional Joomla design and integration service for your business – small, SME or corporate. Joomla is a CMS that can effectively power your website for years to come.

If you are looking to invest in a new website, make sure you can edit it yourself. Why not call us and have a chat about what Joomla can do for your business apart from saving it thousands of pounds
