Issue #2 - 12/31/2024
As we step into 2025, it’s time to take a fresh look at how we approach website design and development. Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked with both Joomla and WordPress, running successful businesses and creating tools for users on both platforms. But as the industry evolves, so does my perspective.
A Change
Recently, I’ve decided to shift my focus entirely back to Joomla—a platform that’s always been reliable, flexible, and built for creators who value control. WordPress, while a significant part of my journey, is heading in a direction that no longer aligns with what I believe website builders truly need. And I know I’m not alone in feeling this way.
Joomla has always been a powerful alternative, and in 2025, it’s more relevant than ever for those looking for:
- Flexibility: Design and functionality on your terms, without compromise.
- Reliability: A platform that grows with you, offering stability and security.
- Community-Driven Growth: An ecosystem built by and for its users.
What’s Coming?
To help you discover the true potential of Joomla, I’m building a resource hub that will include:
- Comprehensive Tutorials: Covering every feature and function of Joomla, starting with text-based guides and eventually expanding to video tutorials.
- Membership Plans: Tailored for beginners, committed learners, and lifetime access seekers, each designed to provide exceptional value.
- Exclusive Content: Tools and templates to help you build better websites faster.
- A Blog Launching Soon: The blog will explore actionable tips, expert insights, and everything you need to know about website design and development. From beginner-friendly guides to advanced strategies, you’ll find valuable content to build, optimize, and grow your online presence. Plus, stay updated on news related to Joomla (and some WordPress too).
- Themes/Templates: Although I committed not to start another theme-selling website, I am making a "limited" exception here. I will be offering a few WordPress and Joomla templates—the same design for each—but for their specific platform.
Time to Get Started!
Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just starting, Joomla has something to offer—and my mission is to make the transition easy and rewarding.
See You Next Week,
