One of the most popular services I offer is Rapid Deployment of a new or existing website using the open-source Joomla Content Management System (CMS).

Joomla is an award-winning CMS, which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications.

A Content Management System is software that keeps track of every piece of content on your Web site, much like your local public library keeps track of books and stores them. Content can be simple text, photos, music, video, documents, or just about anything you can think of. A major advantage of using a CMS is that it requires almost no technical skill or knowledge to manage. Since the CMS manages all your content, you don't have to. All of the software resides on your web hosting server; there is nothing to install on your desktop PC and you can manage your system from anywhere you have access to the internet.

Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular Web site software available.

Here are two recent examples of Rapid Deployment site projects:

• Dynamic Alternatives, Inc: A 25+ year old company offering custome programming and development services to the business market. The existing website had not been redesigned in several years and had an outdated look. The company wanted a fresh look with the original content accumulated over the years. This deployment was completed and approved by the client within two working days.
• JayMcCollum.com: This site is still having content added by the client and thus still has a "work-inprogress" feel to it. The client is a professional photographer with over 30 years experience in the field, and his initial goal is to build a portfolio of images and services. This new site was registered, installed, and fully functional within six hours of the client's initial purchase of the package.

My Rapid Deployment package includes:

• Installation of the Joomla 1.5 CMS at your qualified Web Hosting Service* using your existing registered domain.
• Installation of up to three Site Templates (These control the "look and feel" of the site) from a library of available open-source templates
• Installation of up to three open source modules from a list of available modules, to extend and customize the functionality of your site.
• Creation and 10 day management of new associated Twitter account to increase site exposure
• Creation and configuration of StatCounter account, providing you with on-demand  "snapshots" of who's looking at your site, what they're looking at, and where they came from

The package is available via my webstore for $329.95 USD
