The Power of value added website enhancements

Generally, a good website is never 'completed'

.. it evolves, improves and changes content through to functionality to keep the site alive and interesting and give your clients and guests a satisfying and informative experience. This can be achieved by the available 'add-ons' in the form of modules or components developed specifically for your Joomla! content management system.

These add-ons are usually free to licence

However, there are some heavy duty components that come with a generally small licence fee. Whether they are free to licence, or chargeable, there can be a degree of installation and setup (depending on the add-on) that can prove to be a challenge for some in time and/or experience. We would like to make this easy for you by charging a small installation fee based on the amount of work needed to install the component/module.

We will introduce you to a handful of add-ons each month

Should you have an interest and would like more information, please contact our development team by email or phone 1300 60 20 39 during business hours.

Let’s take a look at the first list of extensions on offer....
