What is Joomla!?

Joomla! is one of the most powerful Open Source Content Management Systems on the planet. It is used all over the world for everything from simple websites to complex corporate applications.

Joomla! is designed to allow both technical and non-technical users to easily add or edit content, update images, and to manage the critical data that makes your company or organisation go. Anybody with basic word processing skills can easily learn to manage a Joomla! site.

CARISS provide you the client with a fully set up Joomla! based website solution. This is the base to which you add your own content to create your own dynamic website.

Available templates

Pick one of our available templates for your website, all customisable with your own logo and colours. We add a new template every month so check back often, or if you would like a more bespoke design contact us for a quote.

Why choose CARISS and Joomla!?

Joomla! the award winning Content Management System is available under the GPL license. This means there is no fee for the actual software itself enabling CARISS to provide an extremely cost effective web solution without compromising on the high quality of work and service our clients have come to expect from CARISS.
