I’ve been building Joomla websites since back when 1.5 was the latest version – so, a decent amount of time. Over the years the way I’ve been building Joomla websites has evolved, both from experience and from the many updates that have occurred since I first started. I figured it would be a good idea to share some of these experiences and provide some guidance on building a Joomla website that is maintainable, efficient, and easy to administer.
Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to work with industry-leading web design and development software for both large and small organizations.

Having an exciting, interactive website is important to stand out in today’s crowded internet market. However, far too often there are simple mistakes that result in slow page load times and a frustrating user experience; especially when you start adding on all the bells and whistles to your website. Not only will fixing these issues likely improve your bounce rates, it will also help with your SEO strategy. Ideally you will want to have a page load time of around 2 seconds or less, so if you notice your page is taking longer than that, you may be running into one of these 5 issues!
