Explantion

To help you understand the advanced benefits of letting kireth create your website within the joomla framework, I will attempt to explain in laymens terms what a website actualy is..

No More Than a Text File

A Web page is a simple text file that contains not only text, but also a set of HTML tags that describe how the text should be formatted when a browser displays it on the screen.

The tags are simple instructions that tell the Web browser how the page should look when it is displayed. The tags tell the browser to do things like change the font size or color, or arrange things in columns.

The Web browser interprets these tags to decide how to format the text onto the screen.

Web Server

A Web server is a piece of computer software that can respond to a browser's request for a page, and deliver the page to the Web browser through the Internet. You can think of a Web server as an office complex, with each office unit housing someone's Web page.

In order to store your page in the complex, you need to pay rent on the space. Pages that live in this complex can be displayed to and viewed by anyone all over the world.

Your landlord is called your host, and your rent is usually called your hosting charge. Every day, there are millions of Web servers delivering pages to the browsers of tens of millions of people through the network we call the Internet.

Summary

So in actual fact a traditional website page is no more than a plain text file that tells your browser on you computer how and were to display information on your browser screen

(Right click on your browser screen and select view source and you will see the HTML File/Text File that your browser as used to creat this page)

The Joomla Difference

Unlike a traditional website that is just a plain text file with instructions for you browser - Joomla is an online piece of software that runs on the web server, this enables your website to actually processes and executes computer code, in effect this makes a website built with joomla an intelligent website.

What can this intelligence achieve

Just like Windows the operating you use on your computer, Joomla can execute and run software applications from online Intergrated Content Managment (allows you to easily edit your site yourself) - Database Apllications - Shopping Carts - Automatic Google Site Map Generators the list is endless.

This open ended flexability means your website can grow with your company and also rapidly respond to any changes in new realeses of Browser Versions.

Code Re-use

Our clients often ask why our sites contain so much functionality at so little cost - the simple answer is code re-use.

In traditional Website Design a simple contact us form as to be written from scratch for each new Website that is created.

Example
Using the joomla frame work a contact us form is written as a component (A self contained programme) although anitialy complex to write - this component can be used over and over again in many different websites and installed in mimuites not hours saving a considerable amount of construction of time.

This allows Kireth to build websites in an efficient manner, which allows to reduce the cost of sites whithout compromising functionality.
