Template Help - Support
Joomla Support - Template Customisation
We strongly believe that purchasing an off the shelf Joomla template and customising its layout, design and colour pallet gives Joomla site owners the best value template option. Joomla templates that have been built by professional developers and designed by professional designers, are a great foundation for your site. YES we can build you whatever you want, but to start from scratch and build out will cost twice the amount as customising an off the shelf template.
Template customisation is a great services for the client, when taking out a support contract as we will also be able to improve the way your site works on a technical basis: site speed, validation, page file size and much, much more.
Joomla Help - Template Tweaks
If you require a change/addition to your current template and cannot do the work yourself, we are here to help. Contact us with your Joomla template tweak requirements (as detailed as possible) for a speedy response and quote.
If you are planing a new area of your site, you want a different look and feel but you only want to use one template. We can implement a different style, colour scheme and even layout to separate the new area from the rest of the site.
Component and Module Help - Support
Joomla Support - Component and Module Customisation
We've customised Virtuemart to do purchase orders, automatically set your shipping cost dependent on products and country, create custom emails for administrators for each status along the payment to shipping process, strip out countries that clients do not ship to, etc, etc.
We've customised components such as Sobi2, DOCman, DT Register, Documents Indexer, Jevents, the list goes on and on.
We also regularly customise core Joomla modules to work in ways that they are not designed for i.e latest news module customised to work in conjunction with FJrelate to display a list of latest articles that have a keyword match and not from one category.
Joomla Help - Component and Module (add-ons) Installation
Joomla is the best CMS in the world for ease of use, but sometimes setting up new add-ons can be difficult and time consuming. Dean Marshall Consultancy can take the stress, hassle and learning curve away from you, setting up add-ons correctly in the first place makes using them far easier, saves you time each time you add to them and gives you the effect you want. Ultimately saving you time and money in the long run.
Joomla SEO
Joomla Support - SEO
Our Joomla support services can be used for search engine optimisation, we can create a list of keywords / key phrases for your site to target. Build a strategy for new articles, blog posts and gaining the highest possible quality backlinks.
Site build quality/maintenance is Google's latest drive and will continue to grow in relevance over the next two to three years. Your website has to be properly built and kept that way, expires headers, image types and file types set to cache. Correct .htaccess rules/redirects/caching are very important and as I'm sure you all know, duplicate content/page titles have very quickly become one of the major down factors in Google's eyes.
We have the knowledge and ability to get your site functioning properly, structured correctly and running smoothly, we specialise in speeding up Joomla sites, another flag to Google's website build/maintenance drive.
