Struggling to set up a School Joomla website? Get a complete automated installation and configuration service specifically designed for schools and educational institutions and an extensive 30 page PDF tutorial.

In 2006 we completed over 50 custom websites powered by Joomla. We found one common theme in many of these projects, people found Joomla powerful, flexible, but difficult to set up. Even clients that only initially wanted a custom template decided to ask for our expertise in installing, configuring and populating their website.

Introducing the Joomlashack Shack Pack for Schools!

We are very excited to have developed a new service to share that expertise. We hope to help beginners (or busy people) take the first steps in proudly wearing that "powered by joomla" badge with this service.

  • Sequential ebooks about a particular topic
  • A news and tips email from a topic niche site
