Joomla Help | Joomla Support Company | Joomla Consultants | Joomla Experts UK

Leading Joomla evangelist Brian Teeman - one of the founders of Joomla and Open Source Matters (OSM) the body the holds the project's trademarks and purse strings - shared details of his difficulties in finding the time and money to travel the world promoting the Joomla project.

In his blog post - Helping Me spread the Joomla!Love - Brian asked if any of the individuals and companies who make a living from Joomla would be willing to help fund his travel expenses.

I think we would have done so anyway - but Brian ingeniously offered an incentive to sweeten the deal. Brian presents talks and presentations and offered a small advertising slot on slides of his 'next generation' Joomla Secrets talk.

If like myself you have upgraded to the latest version of Ubuntu, you may have also noticed that the keyboard and mouse do not work, you have to bang the mouse or press keys down several times for them to work.

I've found a work around for now and have posted this on the Ubuntu forum.

If you have a zombie process running then you need to 'kill it' ( for this you will need a command-line terminal ), below is the command line code you need to do this.  Until Ubuntu is upgraded or someone else finds a permanent fix, you will have to do this each time you start your machine.

Offered in partnership with leading international experts in web site accessibility standards we are proud to offer a range of web accessibility audit services.

Help - My Joomla Web Site Has Been Hacked

We have a vast array of experience when it comes to de-hacking Joomla websites or resurrecting your website from back-ups. If your Joomla website has been hacked then you need our help. We offer three main services for recovering a hacked website:

From the moment your Joomla website goes live, hackers start probing it for weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Joomla websites are getting hacked every day. It isn't that there is anything wrong with Joomla's security - more often site owners and administrators make mistakes.

Like most people running Joomla websites, security is just something you do not have enough knowledge of.

Dean Marshall Consultancy, a UK company offering website design services providing effective, stylish and affordable web design, development, marketing and support services. We specialise in the building websites with the Joomla CMS, the world's most popular web content management system.

We develop high quality websites, centred around our range of affordable web design services, including:

• Corporate website design
• Small business web site design
• Public sector web site design
  • schools
  • local authorities (councils)
  • national government departments
• Non-profit website design
• Community website design
• Personal website design

Our lead developer has over fifteen years of experience with the web, twelve or so in the web development arena and he has been using Joomla since the very beginning.  In this time our company has helped thousands of clients directly and many tens of thousands of users via our presence in the various online Joomla communities.

As a small  business ourselves, we are keenly aware of the need to keep costs low and gain good value for money.  Consequently we try to keep our web design prices extremely competitive - whilst we know we aren't always the cheapest we are sure we provide the best value for money.

We have built a strong reputation as a leading website design company by building web pages and producing sites that are good looking, technically excellent and affordable. We build Joomla powered websites for small businesses, non-profits, the public sector and the corporate market.

Affordable, High Quality Joomla Web design services

You probably know the old adage - Speed, quality and low price - you can only have two of these.

Many providers of website design services can provide quality web designs and website design services - but for a high price; There are also many companies that offer cheap web design - but the quality of the design is usually poor.

We help you strike the right balance between these three competing trade-offs.

Unlike larger web development companies, the fact we are a small business means that your project is not just a nine-to-five job for our website designers. With Dean Marshall Consultancy you will experience an exceptional level of personal service and flexibility (check out our web design testimonials for proof).

Because we are a professional Joomla design company based in Lancashire, in the north west of England, we don't charge 'big city' prices  for our website development services. 

Let us build your  next website for you - using the Joomla CMS - and you will see that it is a lot less hassle than trying to build your own website - but the final result is a site that you can manage yourself.

As we have grown our online company primarily through our own websites, and via client recommendations, you know two things about us:

• we know what we are doing when it comes to the web
• our clients are pleased enough to refer us to their friends and business acquaintances

Where we find a more efficient way of doing something we make a saving which we like to pass on to our clients.  So if you are wondering 'how to start my own  Internet business', we can help...

Our track record as a Joomla web design agency

Our in-house web development team have been designing websites for more than ten years, which makes us a very well established UK design company, with an extensive website portfolio and web designer testimonials to die for.  We believe we are worthy of consideration for your next website design project..

Here are Dean Marshall Consultancy we understand that small business owners like you have entirely different needs from your website than larger businesses.

We know that you are probably operating under the following constraints:

• Limited budget - any spending has to be justified.
• No dedicated web management team - your staff have real jobs and operating the website is just one more task.
• No pre-prepared promotional materials - we can help you produce the text for your website.
• Restrictions on your time - you and your staff don't have abundant time for learning complex new skills.
  

We can help you with the task of transferring your existing Joomla website to our web hosting.

Whilst many moderately advanced Joomla users are capable of moving their Joomla website from their old web host to our Joomla web hosting we fully understand and appreciate that not everyone can do so.  We can take the complexities and uncertainties out of the equation for you.

We charge a fixed fee in exchange for which we can backup your existing Joomla website - move the site (files and database) to our web server and help with transferring the domain name itself.

We then point the domain name to the new web hosting and set up the first three email addresses for you.  Your Joomla hosting will typically come with its own control panel so you will be able to manage emails and other many other add-ons yourself.

We are confident that we can offer:

• offer high quality hosting
• offer the features that make Joomla and Mambo easier to use
• remove the road blocks that many people experience
• affordable, reliable and flexible hosting
• full service hosting - including automated backups
• mirrored hosting - full copies of your site ready to go should anything go wrong
  

We are confident that our knowledge of Joomla, together with our experiences as leading figures in both the Mambo and Joomla CMS communities mean that we understand the difficulties that people can have both with the CMS's themselves, but also with the servers and related technologies. Our knowledge in these fields is key to our tailored packages and support systems. If you need assistance we have the answers.
