Harper Vance develops Joomla! websites, and consults with Joomla! site owners to solve problems and improve the sites' return on their investment.
Services
We serve Joomla! website owners. We have been working exclusively in Joomla! for nearly five years (Including the Mambo days).
We have developed (entirely or in part) over 300 Joomla! and Mambo websites, and will gladly furnish references upon request. Working exclusively in Joomla! has given us a depth of experience with the product that permits us to use an extraordinary variety of styles and features that enable the production of websites that are anything but "cookie cutter".
The articles below detail the services we provide. If you have any questions, or desire an estimate for the jobs you may want us to do, feel free to call or use the contact form if you prefer an email response, we are glad to chat with you at some length about your needs. If we are not the right firm for you to hire, we will tell you so, and probably be able to tell you whom you should contact for best results.
Joomla Hosting
We are proud to offer excellent Joomla hosting on our own private servers. For most clients, the price is $48 annually. Some clients will have traffic and bandwidth needs which exceed that which we can comfortably offer. For them, dedicated server space is available and reasonably priced.
Custom Joomla Templates
We thoroughly enjoy crafting custom cross-browser Joomla! templates from your layered Photoshop files. This process is a bit more expensive than a "club" template (OK, a lot more expensive), but you have the advantage of knowing your site will be unique on the web.
Why settle for anything less than bringing your own design to life?
Upgrades and Migrations
Upgrading Joomla and Joomla extensions is not difficult, and most people CAN do them without spending much time or effort. But many people do not follow the marketplace closely enough to know when an upgrade is released.
It is also not uncommon that an upgrade to Joomla can break some things on a site, and even more commonly, an upgrade to an extension breaks the styling or another extension. For as little as $10 per month*, we will follow your site for you, tracking the main code AND your extensions, and apply the upgrades safely and promptly.
Ask for an estimate to migrate your Joomla 1.0.X site to Joomla 1.5.
*Complex sites with lots of extensions will cost more.
Webmaster Service
We will do as much or as little of the day-to-day webmaster tasks as you desire (the picture at right is YOU after you hire us to worry about your site). From back-up to article maintenance and addition, handling images, seasonal template changes, data updates, and so forth, properly maintaining a website can be a LOT of work.
We have monthly packages available to suit your needs, and they are flexible, meaning you can select just what you need on a regular basis, and pay us by the hour to do occasional tasks. ALL packages include hosting and upgrade services.
Start living your life again, and let us worry about your site.
