earch Engine Optimization is key. You must have it done. There are millions of sites and your site could end up found on page 53 where nobody will look. Below are the results from the SEO work I have completed on a number of sites. The results were obtained using white hat techniques and using the knowledge gained from working in the technology industry for over 25 years. It is not magic, just hard work.

oomla is one of the best Content Management Systems available. The main benefit of Joomla is its open framework, allowing complete customization and integration. Third parties have taken advantage of this open platform and developed thousands of add on components and modules to Joomla. 
This main benefit is also Joomla's main challenge.
It takes time to become proficient in Joomla. Businesses using Joomla do not have the time to integrate and "tweak" all the pieces and parts making a site consistent and engaging.
I have taken the time. And you can benefit from my research to accomplish for your site in minutes or hours what would have taken days or weeks.
If you want a complete "start to success" website, or just need some help, I can provide my service on a permanent, hourly or fixed price basis.
Read on to see a list of some Joomla "ingredients" I have used to bake some interesting websites.

My first exposure to the internet was at the Pentagon in 1984.
I took a course on computer networking fundamentals covering layered protocols. Two students in the class were from the Army and were
given authorization to take the class into the Pentagon basement. They
showed us a couple of servers and thick coaxial cables. It was pretty boring, but because the Cold War was still on, it was a thrill being at ground zero.
They told us the
Defense Department recently made a decision to standardize on a
networking protocol called TCP/IP. This protocol IS the basis of all
internet connectivity. Fast forward to 1993 - Two things happened; 1) the Federal Government released the use of the network to the private sector and 2) one application was created: Mosaic (the first world wide web browser). The internet exploded.
Around this time, my hands on Hosting Skills grew at Corporate Information Systems then at Iserv. There were no home routers, WiFi, simple website tools, it all had to be created from scratch. I was there doing it with the help of some big brained people.
