Benefits Of Migrating To Joomla 3

Security

Outdated Joomla sites are often targeted by hackers because of known vulnerabilities that can easily be exploited.

Mobile

Joomla 3.x is designed with mobile in mind and comes with several built-in features that make it responsive out of the box.

SEO

Joomla 3.x comes with the ability to easily control your on-site SEO so you can attract valuable traffic and potential sales.

Customization

Older versions can be tough to customize but new features in J3x make it easy to customize like a pro.

UI/UX

The Joomla 3.x admin user experience is much improved from older versions which means you get work done faster.

Extensions

As the Joomla project continues to mature so does the ecosystem of third party extensions available (both free and paid).

Post Migration Advantages

Modern Design

Our team can assist you in migrating the site you built on an older version of Joomla without losing the nuance and detail that made your site great in the first place! All of our migrations feature a modern layout with fully mobile responsive features which will result in increased visitor conversions.

Improved Technology

Joomla 3 makes use of newer technology in PHP and MySQL. Joomla 3.5 introduced PHP7 support which is up to 40% faster on the server than previous versions. Also J3.x saw jQuery become a core technology which helps to increase stability and reduce troublesome script conflicts between third party extensions.

Best Practices

You can rest assured that the way we put your site's pieces together will be state-of-the-art.

You've got questions? We've got answers.

What about third party extensions?

If an extension is Joomla 3 compatible then we can upgrade it. If an extension is not compatible with Joomla 3 then we will help you to find a reasonable substitute.

What's the turn around time?

This depends on the complexity of the website. In all cases the project timeline will be clearly defined.

What about data loss?

No. We will even take backups of the original site for you to have just in case.

What information should I provide?

As much information as possible including but not limited to: joomla administrator credentials, cpanel access, which parts of the site shouldn't be migrated, which parts should, which extensions you might have in mind... etc. The more the better.

What about purchasing third party extension upgrades?

It's the client's responsibility to pay for upgraded extensions that may be needed to migrate the site. For example, if a client wants the newest version of {insert expensive paid extension here} then the client is responsible for purchasing this extension for use on their site. We don't purchase or provide commercial extensions.

If you don't wish to buy commercial extensions we will do the best we can to find comparable free extensions which can be substituted.

What about purchasing third party template upgrades?

It's the client's responsibility to pay for upgraded templates that may be needed to migrate the site. For example, if a client wants the newest version of {insert expensive paid template here} then the client is responsible for purchasing this template for use on their site. We don't purchase or provide commercial templates.

If you don't wish to buy a commercial template we will use the Yootheme Master template which is free and re-style it to look like your template.
