Early November 2010 our new website on the server of our provider was published but not without birth pangs. Initial difficulties were soon overcome and many typing errors corrected. Everything seems to be o.k. now.
The first considerations of redesigning our existing online presence came up months ago. The main reasons were the enormous amount of time required for ongoing change service and for a possible extension. Extension modules (such as CMS) were not available. The necessary changes had to be made on the local computer and then transferred to the server via FTP. Besides the previous online presence was created with a paid programme and change in person of the web administrator this programme would no longer be available.
Looking to remove all the weak spots mentioned above and after long consideration we came to the conclusion that it should be a CMS (content management system).

We made a good choice: CMS "Joomla 1.5". But it was not as easy as thought first. What pretty surprised was the high learning curve for a not quite so young web administrator. Rolling literature and much work on the computer (learning by doing) were absolutely necessary. In short, the switch was made against all the odds and the knowledge level increased.
Now it is routine and even more fun. |
