Hello everybody,
this is our first web site created with Joomla. It was so much coincidence during summer 2007. We (me and my husband) wanted to have a great aerobics web site, which could gather aerobics community, offer nice articles about aerobics, professional videos and more but we didn't know how. We were ready to invest 2.000-3.000 USD for web site development and almost fell for it, but one day we met friend of ours ''hard coder'' who said, come on, anybody can program web sites these days. And he referred to either Wordpress or Joomla. We heard of both names before, but were never actually involved as we thought it was too complex.
SO we gave up all the expensive 3rd party solutions of ''web developers'' who only wanted your money and went our own path, our way, the JOOMLA! way. And I guess we can be now proud about it. I won't write more about, how we started to read all Joomla materials, web sites, forums, comparing hosting services and most of all comparing the template site offering cool templates as none of us had any knowledge of php, HTML or css... We chose Rockettheme and so far there was not single moment of regret especially when you deal with great people like James who are there to help when you need it... I will stop now as it would be probably a book, so here you go.
Website URL : www.miriamaerobics.com
Purpose : personal web site, creating aerobics community around Slovakia but also international, plus offering professional aerobics videos online
Template: Rockettheme - Simplix (with Joomla! 1.0.12 version)
Additional Extensions
1) Forum - FireBoard Forum
2) Event Calendar : JEvents!
3) Translation bilingual (Slovak and English) : JoomFish!
4) Gallery : RokZoom
5) Glossary : Remository
6) Recipes : Recittario
7) Links : Exchange Links (LinX)
Custom Development: so far none
Other Features: all named above, also choreographies will be offered through all videos plug in (e.g, youTube) and/or adobe flashplayer, but this is coming soon. The eshop we would like to use Virtue Mart.
I would like to know few things as feedback. Please, it's very much appreciated.
A) What can be improved from design point of view? Do you think adding some addSense Google links would spoil the web site? If not, where would you suggest to place it?
What about performance, the hosting is on servers in US. Is it fast enough also in Europe? I tried to limit any big pictures or big stuff, but sometimes I feel like the site is too slow, especially on computers with slow modems. Can you suggest any boost mechanisms?
C) I don't know anything about the ''code'' but if you find some big errors please let me know where and I will try to fix it.
Many many thanks
