Launched just before Christmas, this is a major overhaul for Wai Yin’s website, to streamline it, simplify it, and make it easier to maintain and keep up to date. As an organisation that is constantly changing, it needs to be easy to change the structure and add new sections. Staff also want to be able to update front page news items, and add training courses quickly and painlessly, and so we’ve used the facility to login to the website from the front to edit some of the areas with a reasonably straightforward email-like editor.
Why Joomla 1.7 for this website? I started out choosing (the short-lived) Joomla 1.6 for this project, because of the added functionality for user and permissions management. It was soon upgraded, and I’m looking forward to the ability to keep the Joomla software up-to-date much more smoothly, and also watching developments in multi-langauge capabilities.
