Joomla!

Joomla! is an open source content management system (CMS) that allows complex websites to be constructed. We've used Joomla! together with a number of extensions to create this site.

Joomla Content Editor (JCE)

JCE is an excellent replacement for the "standard" TinyMCE editor supplied with Joomla! It allows a much wider range of options for linking documents, images & other articles.

VCNT Visitor Counter

The "standard" visitor counter isn't very good. This provides a much better display.

xmap

xmasp is a simple but effective "site map" component.

Akeeba backup

Akeeba backup is a component that makes backup copies o fthe entire website - files and database. The "restore" process can be onto the same server or a different one; it works out most of the installation settings.

Phoca gallery

a simple but effective "gallery" component, for displaying photographs in various ways.

Phoca Download

Phoca Download is a component to allow file download to users. This is surprisingly difficult to do otherwise!

Szaki Table

This is the sortable table plug-in: it allows you to have a table in an article which can be sorted by any of its columns.

Artisteer

This is the template designer we've used. 

LazyDBBackup

A simple but excellent extension - this plugin emails you a backup copy of the database at a set period (eg weekly).
