If you've read anything at all about Content Management Systems (CMS), you'll probably know at least three things: • CMS are the best way to do business. • CMS can be really, I mean really, complicated. • Portals are often expensive.

Touchline Web Design can install and customise your Mambo / Joomla installation. We are currently in the process of modifying components and modules for Mambo / Joomla which will be available soon.

Mambo / Joomla

This web site you are looking at is a customised CMS called Mambo / Joomla with a database driven back-end.

Mambo/ 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. It is easy to install, simple to manage, and reliable, and that is why Touchline Web Design recommend it.

Mambo / Joomla is different from the normal models for portal software. For a start, it's not complicated. Mambo / Joomla has been developed for the masses. It's licensed under the GNU/GPL license, easy to install and administer and reliable.

Mambo / Joomla doesn't even require the user or administrator of the system to know HTML to operate it once it's up and running. Mambo / Joomla is a full-featured content management system that can be used for everything from simple websites to complex corporate applications.

Above all it's FREE, and Touchline Web Design can customise it to your exact requirements.

Server Configuration

You MUST ensure that PHP has been compiled with support for MySQL and Zlib in order to successfully run Mambo / Joomla. While we have reports that Mambo / Joomla works on IIS server we recommend Apache for running Mambo on Windows.
