WE DESIGN, DEVELOP AND HOST MOBILE FRIENDLY CONTENT-MANAGED WEBSITES!
All sites are self-editing, available with online merchandising - shops and catalogues; membership groups with paid and unpaid subscriptions, blogs and content stores, all supported with integrated email for client communications and back-end administration.
Plus an Organic Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) package and optional hosting and support packages.
We can help you promote it too, with a full range of digital and traditional marketing communications.
Although Joomla has served the online community extremely well over the years, many businesses are operating websites that are still running on very early versions of this popular platform and thus not only missing out on a large range of benefits - notably being able to run on today's mobile devices - but also exposing themselves to considerable risk.
THE PROBLEM
Support for older Joomla websites has now ceased
- Websites are open to hacking attacks
- System crashes
- Blacklisting on the web
- Client disruption - loss of email
- Loss of Income!
- Website lost - no easy fix!
Security is becoming weak for all, as the software cannot be upgraded to meet the requirements of each new security update on the internet, leaving sites vulnerable to various types of disruptive attack such as spamming, hacking etc.
Extensions and Plug-ins for additional services are rarely supported for Joomla series 1 to 1.7 and are becoming a source of operational weakness. So the more developed sites are facing problems in keeping all of their online services running reliably.
Web hosting providers are rejecting early Joomla websites, asking that they be updated or moved away as they do not operate successfully on newer servers being deployed and are causing problems all round - in some cases being blacklisted!
And it gets expensive when websites become vulnerable to security breaches and viruses. It causes operating problems, system crashes and unplanned downtime:- operators of websites that support large membership/subscription groups can wake up to an administrative nightmare and severe user reactions.
WHAT TO DO?
Don't panic but do take action!
- Ensure your website is regularly backed up !

- Quotation for migrating to the new Joomla 3 series
A good time to take stock. Some options:-
Most Joomla series 1 websites do not upgrade easily to the new platform – it’s a big jump and requires specialist manual interventions, which can be costly.
If your website is well developed – rich in current content and fully engaged with your customer base, the decision is probably made – 'You have invested a lot in your website; can you afford to start over?'
If your website is mainly an online brochure it maybe tempting to just scrap it all and start over with a fresh approach but 'starting from scratch will represent a lot of time and effort from the owner – only worthwhile if it's is part of significant business overhaul.'
Netcol can help you – let us have a look at your site to understand how it's set up, review its components and we can then give you a fixed quote and heads-up on what’s required to successfully migrate to the new Joomla 3 platform and other options for your online business.
We make no charge for this pre-project consultancy.
