No worries, I got ya covered.
- All this is what I charge for, and although I normally start at quoting $800, of course this can be discussed and I work with business' budgets.

What I use:
-
Joomla
- I build websites using the content management system called Joomla, the most widely used CMS on the planet (literally).
- Because it’s so popular, there are hundreds of extensions that can be installed to add to the functionality to your website, most of them are free, some require a purchase.
- Using Joomla adds greatly to the potential of your website AND flexibility and options to what you can do with the site.
- Don’t want ecommerce now but might want it later? That’s why Joomla is so great, because you can get a site now and save on cost upfront by NOT having ecommerce, but add it in later using an extension.
- Plus, it’s free!
-
Rocket Theme
- Rocket Theme templates for Joomla are the best out there, a few of them are free, but most of them are $50, but it’s worth it. Their structure is the best designed and the easiest to manipulate and adjust for each project.
