Hello Friends,
I came accross this site and decided to share it.
ARTICLEunit is an internet and technology website.

Also register at SCRIPTLANCE their charges are relatively cheaper and you will get $5 on sign-up.
Goodluck.

Joomla CMS is free. Download at joomla.org
To work smart, you will need a webserver installed in your PC.
Hmm, working smart demands MySql knowledge.
If you don't know your MySql, I'll advice you practice on your local PC and produce on your remote server.
Get a free webserver:
For windows XP, use WAMP http://www.wampserver.com/en/
For vista, use XAMP webserver. You can google that to get the website.

Thanks.

Good topic. I'll like to add that developing with joomla cms demands the basic knowledge of XHTML CSS XML and PHP. A little bit of design skill will also be a plus.

Websites today have become a very essential medium for companies however small or big to showcase their products and services and increase their brand visibility. A good website does not only appeal to the visitors but gives them something to think about your organization.

Sometimes people may decide to create websites all by themselves. But creating websites or getting websites developed by people who have limited technological expertise and experience has its own risks. Economical and cost effective website may help save money but they may prove unproductive in the long run. Such website may be low in quality and also not appeal to the target audience.

So whenever you plan to get a website for yourself, consult a professional website designer or a company. Ensure that your website has the following features to enhance its productivity:

1) Template- A customized template that matches your organizations’ color and values. Don't use free template because these types of template are repeated on many websites and fail to give your company the required unique identity.


2) Content - Content is the lifeblood of any website, take your time to give this section the best attention. Ensure you have content related to the theme of the website and also ensure availability of fresh content for each & every page. It will help attract new customers.


3) Meta Tag & Title - Each and every page should have a title & be supported by appropriate meta tags. This will enhance your search engine good ranking in search engines like Google, Yahoo & MSN.


4) Internal navigation - Ensure that your website is logically linked. Try to keep internal pages maximum of three click away from the index page.


5) Broken links - Cross check all the active links on the website. Broken link has a negative impact on your website. A broken link could take visitors away from your site and prevent them from seeing the core contents that could convert to sales.


6) Search Box - Include a search box option in the website if your site is more than 15 pages. It will always help the customer in finding important information on the web site quickly.


A good website is an asset for any organization. Put these points on your checklist when you need a new website or wish to upgrade an existing one to achieve great results.
