> From: br...@briansmithonline.com > Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2012 23:32:08 +0100 > To: peterboro@mailman.lug.org.uk > Subject: [Peterboro] Joomla help? > > Greetings all, > > I wonder if anyone can help the ladies of the Inner Wheel District 7? > > The background is this: > One of the ladies (my neighbour) built a basic website using Word and hosted > it at Fasthosts. It worked OK but updating meant that she had to alter the > page in Word and FTP it. > As use of the website grew they needed a content management system so that > officers and club principals could update their own sections. > They commissioned a young relative to build a site using Joomla which you can > see at: > http://www.innerwheeldistrict7.org/ > > It does the job and many people have put in a lot of time learning how to > manage their sections. > > The problem is that when they need help the young relative is not available. > For example, the fact that the site has been hacked twice suggests that > updates don't happen properly. > > I'll copy my neighbour's comments (in her email to other members) so you'll > see where she's coming from. > > I'm not sure exactly what will help them. A total rebuild would probably be > expensive - and they paid a lot for this website and have invested time and > effort into learning how to use it - but is maintenance and support an option? > > Any thoughts, suggestions, offers, quotations, etc., would be much > appreciated. > > Many thanks, > > Brian > > Quote:- > > "We need to establish: > Ongoing maintenance and updating. > If you could come to the meeting with possible ideas as to our next move – I > think we are all agreed that we need to find another host and maintenance > provider. > There may be problems getting away from (name) as I believe he has the > passwords etc. > If anyone has any contacts or knows of a firm who could supply the service we > need please come with details and if poss prices. > I think it is important to emphasise that the site needs to be accessible to > older and not so up to date machines and programmes, to say nothing of the > users. > I think if members are unable to do their own editing where they want then > they will soon lose interest. > The programme that we use needs to be VERY USER FRIENDLY!! > The website that we have is what we need and looks good.
