2003 had me looking at options; stay with corporate or strike out on my own. I was already doing design work on the side from my full time gig and I could see the many business' who didn't have the need or budget to have a full time designer on staff. Over these 20 years I've seen lots of changes, and with my business as well. What started as print design is now primarily web design and management.
I've been building Joomla websites for many years. I found Joomla CMS by accident but have continued to use it on purpose. The flexibility Joomla gives me as a website designer is important. Some clients need a very basic site and most all functionality is built in but there are extensions to add so much more. Add to that a secure, fast code base and it is truly an excellent partner.
Secure, Extendable, Fast, Flexible!
