At DataWest Group, Inc., we setup and design websites in Joomla. Joomla is a content management system that facilitates the building and maintenance of websites. With Joomla, we can help you create a well-designed and functional site with content you can manage yourself. Whether you want employees to update the information or allow public users to add articles, no problem, we can set that up too.
With Joomla being of one of the most popular the content management systems, web design just got easier. Instead of paying high prices for a custom-designed website, there are several websites providing free or low-cost templates for your business. Templates are standard website designs that can be further customized to your liking. Here are a couple template sites we recommend: YouJoomla! and SiteGround. We can assist you in replacing the template logos with your company's logo.
So, where do you start? With DataWest Group of course! We provide the full package: website hosting, Joomla setup, customizations, and user training.
- For website hosting, you will need a provider that supports PHP and MySQL to install Joomla. Visit Website Hosting for more information regarding additional options and considerations.

This includes setting up your article sections, creating your main menu, and your preferred method of maintaining your content.

Here is more information on Joomla from their website:
Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular Web site software available. Best of all, Joomla is an open source solution that is freely available to everyone.
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.
Joomla is used all over the world to power Web sites of all shapes and sizes. For example:
- Corporate Web sites or portals
- Corporate intranets and extranets
- Online magazines, newspapers, and publications
- E-commerce and online reservations
- Government applications
- Small business Web sites
- Non-profit and organizational Web sites
- Community-based portals
- School and church Web sites
- Personal or family homepages
