Joomla!

Walk away

One of our SEO strategies is to migrate all of our blogs over to a CMS Platform (WordPress or Joomla!) to enable SEO features and tagging. I was working on one of our sites which had about 350+ entries, when in the process – the screen went blank. So, I fiddled with this, mess with that and still blank. You know that queasy feeling in the bottom of your stomach? 3 years of entries down the drain? Ugh!

I went online and begged one of my Facebook buddies for help. He didn’t have an immediate solution, but he offered some sane advice – take a break. Walk away, come back fresh. A cool and calm approach – I’ve just lost 3 years of profound words of wisdom – I am not calm!!

Despite my inner control freak – I followed his advice. I took a break.

I came back – reinstalled WordPress 2.7 and there they were – 350 or so of my most profound postings just waiting to be shared with the world.

Sigh!

Joomla! – a new CMS platform

Building in Joomla!

MediationSF wanted a professional looking site that wasn’t too flashy. We opted for a Joomla CMS platform with a Vintage Themed Template. Very simple and elegant.
We believe a CMS – Content Management System – allowing for multiple contributors while offering a content rich solution to make the search engines happy.


The Joomla format allows for multiple users to contribute to the site. Any user with basic word processing skills can update it by adding content, managing images and keeping company critical data up-to-date via a simple, hosted browser-based dashboard.

  • Search engine friendly URLs;
  • On-line Administration;
  • Large developer Community;
  • Lots of cool Plug-Ins
