When faced with the challenge of setting up a new website what’s the first thing one generally thinks of?
The look of the website!
And so we set off to create a look and feel, then we start filling it with info, normally adding pages as we create until we feel enough has been said … does this sound familiar? You might not do the website yourself, but probably followed the same thought pattern to some degree.
What you have now is a website which looks OK or maybe even good, filled with information, now what do you need to do?
Now your work starts, you need to get your site seen on Search Engines, and this is probably the first time you or most of you have thought about Marketing your site or making it more visible to Search Engines from the time you started designing your website.
When engineers build a car, long before they reach for the sheet metal and welding machines, they know what the car will look like and all its specs, and even for what country it is designed for, because what sells in the UK will not sell in the USA.
So back to websites!

Its been a long time in coming, but its one of those things thats kept slipping to number 2 in the priority list, but the new IDS Hosting site is finally launched.
The site has been designed to be pratical & SEO friendly before looking like a design masterpiece that is heavy with graphics and slow. We purposefully used the Joomla foundation to show off how flaxible Joomla is and its a dream to keep updated and develop. we will not ever have to upgrade the site and start from scratch as we did this time around from static HTML. In future we can develop a new template for the site and switch it on … and we have a new look. The pages are easy to change as well as to enable and dis-able. Once you have your head around how Joomla works you will not want to use anything else. Well there are other Content Managed sites like this blog site, its a WordPress site and can be used as a web site as well … easy to use and amazing in features.

IDS Hosting is about to update its website to be more user-friendly, easier to access information be it help info or sales info etc.
Since IDS offers Joomla! websites as part of its product range, we have decided to use the same for its own website requirements which will double as a demo site to show how flexible this type of website approach is.
The method used to access & update the site, change its structure, categorise content or re-categorise content, change the look and feel by means of a template that loads over the content which is easily changed and other great advantages like all the content is sourced in a database, to back up a sql database is easy and does not use a lot of space, dynamically created pages and much more …
We will keep you updated on the progress. any input during and after the update will be appreciated.

IDS Hosting has now included website design and development into its range of products. The website of choice to work from is the famous and very flexible Joomla! software. this website has so many options and modules ready to plugin to make it what you are looking for. We have set up a demo site, this site is based on a the IDS Hosting site, but can take many other forms.
The site can have have many different themes which can be changed with a few mouse clicks from the backend admin section.
IDS Hosting offers a range of off the shelf templates as well as custom templates, which would probably work out cheaper in the long run in time and money as you will have what you want without customizing another template, which even for experienced programmers/developers will take time to do.
This Content Managed (CMS) website approach has so many advantages it would take quite awhile to list and work through them all. we will mention a few now and will continue to publish a few more blogs on this subject.
