Joomla! is free open-source software that is installed on the server to develop and manage your website through databases rather than HTML files. Joomla! is a Content Management System that offers a set of core components that can be expanded using the many extensions and plug-ins that are available for free or at low cost.

The appearance of a Joomla! website is defined by a template. Your site will use a commercial template selected and configured to fit your needs.

This website is a Joomla! site. It utilizes a commercial template and a number extensions and plug-ins.

Joomla! is available for new site construction or I can convert your old HTML site to Joomla! to give it a face lift and increase its functionality. The benefits of Joomla! over HTML include the availability of many special features and ease of maintenance. I do recommend you consider a new Joomla! site if you are still using an HTML site, for a more up-to-date look and easier maintenance.

I don't generally charge for the purchase of commercial templates or plug-ins used on your site. One day an exception to that may come along but so far I only charge for installation and configuration.
