Easy to use

Edit your own content using familiar tools

Joomstore makes it super easy to create new content using a WYSIWYG editor similar to what you use in a desktop application. Create your content, upload images, set publishing dates all from a single simple interface.

Do all this without writing a line of computer code.

An easy drag and drop interface gives you ultimate control website elements like galleries, sliders, accordions, videos, and so much more - with just a few clicks. Best part is everything conforms to your unique design and layout, strengthening your brand and delivering your message in the right voice and style.


Custom applications

It's kind of what we are known for :)

One of our points of difference with Joomla and allows our clients to manage henomenal growth is our experience tapping into Joomla's underlying code framework.

Joomla is built on a highly modular, extendable codebase. It's a programming concept called Object Oriented Programming (OOP) and a code structure called Model-View-Controller (MVC).

For developers it means we can extend the codebase with our own custom modules, plugins or overrides. For bigger projects we can quickly build an entire new component with backend and front end functionality so your users or customers never need to touch a single line of code to access advanced functionality. Plus all the code required to interface with the database, manage users, access control, categorisation and CMS functions is already written and part of the Joomla Framework.

For our clients it means we can build what ever you need to meet your requirements - and there are no limites.

Why don't you give us a call? The coffee's on us.

It's our specialty

We've been working with Joomla since it's inception in 2005. In fact, we've worked on over 200 real world projects using the Joomla CMS.

If you need a template, a module or a completely bespoke outside the box web application, we can build pretty much anything you need with the Joomla Framework and CMS.
