100 Joomla Classes

Our 100th Joomla Class Will Be Free to Non-Profits

100 Joomla ClassesOver the last year our business model has evolved quite substantially. From being a traditional webdesign firm we’ve increasingly focused on Joomla training. After starting slowly last summer, we’re now holding up to 15 classes per month.

We’re proud to announce that we’ve scheduled our 100th Joomla class.

We’ve also decided to make it special. The 100th class will be completely free to non-profit or charity organizations.

Appalachian Trail

AppalachianTrail.com Launched on Joomla

Appalachian TrailFor several months now I’ve been hinting that we have a major geographic domain name to launch on Joomla.

Well, life got in the way … the Joomla training classes became really popular, we had other sites to launch and almost everyone we work with is having a baby this year.

So, although its missing a lot of features that are currently unpublished and being worked on, its time to soft-launch AppalachianTrail.com. The A.T. is huge, running all the way along the eastern side of the U.S.. It starts in Maine, up by the Canada border, and finishes down in Georgia, about an hour north of Atlanta.

Fifty Joomla Classes

Fifty Joomla Classes and Special Student Bonuses

Fifty Joomla ClassesTime moves quickly. We did our first Joomla class in June 2008 and little more than a year later we’re approaching class number 50.

Our 49th class is in Phoenix this Friday and then the big #50 will be our beginner class in Atlanta next week. To celebrate, Christmas is coming early to our students in that 50th class. We’ve arranged for a huge bag of Joomla goodies.

If you can’t make it to Atlanta, don’t worry. At our current rate, we’ll reach class #100 around Christmas time and we’ll make sure the bonus bag for that class is even bigger and better! Here are the bonuses for our 50th class students:

Breeze Logo

Breeze – the World’s Easiest Joomla template

Breeze Template LogoWe don’t launch a new template very often, but when we do it needs to be special.

Back in October last year, we created Bolt which was the fastest ever Joomla template. Now we’re happy to release Breeze, which is the easiest Joomla template ever.

EASY: Breeze has exactly the same configuration as Joomla’s default Milkyway template so all you need to is upload the template and your logo. No other set-up needed!

SIMPLE: Besides the easy configuration, this is also a ridiculously fast template. Depending on how it?s configured, it can use as little as 4 HTTP requests and only 2 images.

STYLISH: Breeze is clean and professional with a slick, horizontal menu:

Joomla Classes in the U.K.: London and Cambridge

London JoomlaIt is that time of the year again … I’m headed back the U.K. for a couple of weeks.

Mainly the trip will be family-orientated as I’ve sisters who are graduating, getting married and having babies. There’s a lot to catch up on!

However, it’s a rare vacation nowadays that doesn’t involve Joomla in some way. So we’re holding two Joomla training classes, one in Cambridge on June 25th and another in London on July 1st.

Both classes will be identical to the ones we run in the U.S. with the same materials, resources, price and even the same bad wisecracks. I may just have to edit the Powerpoints a little to replace somes “z”s with “s”s and find some Essex jokes to replace the Redneck ones.
