Whether you have been running your own website for sometime now or you are brand new to the on-line world you have most likely given a great deal of thought to this question: "How do I get people to my web site and how do I turn that into profit?" For many involved in web site design the design is fundamental and the marketing is left to an inexperienced client.
VisAbility believes in a genuine partnership between client and marketing team. We are responsible for the initial setup of your web site and together we will create a marketing strategy that takes into account what you have to offer and what we can do to make your company stand out on-line.
We believe strongly in open-source web site applications as this enables us to bring down the costs of developing top-end websites to a mere fraction of what is generally available. Joomla is our CMS (content management system) of choice but we also specialise in the following open source systems:
- Gallery2: The most sophisticated on-line image and video gallery system available
- ActionMail.co.za: A professional email marketing tool
- VirtueMart: A fully-fledged e-commerce store with extensive order and product management built in to the Joomla administrative back-end
- OScommerce: A top-notch stand alone e-commerce application.
Because we are passionate, creative and well resourced we are able to take pleasure in every Joomla or other open source based project that we choose to take on. We empower our clients by providing you with all the tools needed to successfully run and maintain your website. There is no need to involve us in the regular updates of your website as you are easily able to do so yourself. We are however available for telephonic consultations and are available for any complex updates or upgrades to your system.
We also offer a full, active marketing solution that included scheduled active marketing as well as monthly progress reports and meetings.

As a website development company we are often asked to advise on the creation of specific website systems. These systems requirements vary a great deal but in 90% of the cases we are able to use a system that has already been created to take care of that exact need. Why re-invent the wheel? Sure, we could make a great deal more money if we were to develop each website from scratch but that would be boring, not to mention unethical. The number of stems available to us is mind blowing and going into too much detail here would be inappropriate. Just some of the systems that get us excited include: - The Joomla content management system. No need to involve a website developer every time you need to make an update. Simply do it yourself. Easily, professionally and instantly!
- VirtueMart e-commerce. Running your own fully functional online store could not be simpler even though the system is powerful and has fantastic value-adding functionality.
- Social Networking and Online Dating. These two markets are growing at a phenomenal rate. Think of FaceBook, YouTube and the like. These sites are now worth billions of dollars and the systems that run them have cost big bucks. We can setup your own website with functionality that can take on these giants for far less than you can imagine.
- Personnel Recruitment Systems. Wether you want to have your own "self-running" jobs portal or a sophisticated recruitment system for your agency we can help with both. Top-end functionality will make each system an asset you would not wish to do without.
- Image and video gallery system. Either as a community development or to enhance your website.
- Online Help-desk. Need an online help-desk with ticket management built in, no problem,
Need anything else. Challenge us, please! We can get the job done in a professional manner for far less than you think. |

This week has seen us release two great new Joomla website developments.
www.aleckaplan.co.za combines the highly functional Joomla content managment system with the VirtueMart e-commerce system. The new Aleck Kaplan and son website has created over 200 auction brochure downloads in its first week online.
www.sunsetranch.co.za uses the Hot or Not Joomla plugin to run a photo competition. There is some sneaky marketing behind the competition that is drawing many new customers to the game ranch. |

A website developers nightmare is often what to do when redeveloping an already busy website. The very last thing we need to happen is for the website traffic to decrease after the revamp is completed and with things already working well this can be a real threat. When converting Induna Boerboels busy static website to a Joomla based, owner updatable website or CMS (content management system), we thought very carefully about the process.The owners had already told us that our previous website marketing accounts for all of their sales, even though they advertise in magazines too, so getting this done right was vital! |

The power of Open Source software is brilliantly showcased in the Joomla Content Management System.
Open source systems are developed by a community of online developers and made available to anyone who wishes to use the product at no cost. Because of the sheer numbers of developers these projects often out perform any commercially available product. Joomla allows you to add, edit and delete all website content. You can also add shopping carts, bulk emailing applications, events calendars, booking systems and the list is almost limitless. | |
