Why Choose Joomla for Your Website?
Joomla remains a powerful content management system for businesses that want a flexible, extensible website without being tied to a single vendor. HTL Support designs, builds and supports Joomla websites for small and mid-sized organisations across London, combining solid development with hosting, security and ongoing IT support.
Joomla is an open source content management (CMS) and one of best platforms chosen by many web developers and designers. It has been a trusted tool to build websites, from simple to complex projects making its popularity constantly growing. The versatility of the framework allows us to install free and paid extensions from thousands of choices such as newsletters, forums, blog integration, news publication, image and video gallery, event calendars and more.
Every Joomla website that we create is custom built from template design, installation of extensions, custom coded features like content sliders, contact form integration and more. All templates are cross browser compatible and XHTML & CSS compliant. This powerful CMS platform has implemented a secure administration interface where you can manage your website with ease and professionalism.
Joomla has been a core CMS in our web design toolkit for years, and we’ve delivered many successful sites on multiple Joomla releases.

Is Joomla the Right CMS for Your Business?
Joomla is often a good fit if you need more structure and flexibility than a simple blogging platform, but don’t want a fully bespoke system.
Joomla is ideal for:
Organisations with multi-section sites (news, resources, events, galleries) that need strong content management.
Businesses that want granular user access and different roles for editors, authors and admins.
Sites needing multi-language content, structured categories or more complex navigation.
Organisations who prefer open source and want to avoid proprietary or lock-in platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Joomla still a good choice?
Yes. Joomla is still actively developed and used by many organisations that want a flexible, open-source CMS with strong content management features. Where it fits, it’s a solid choice alongside platforms like WordPress.
Can you support an existing Joomla site built by another agency?
In most cases, yes. We can review your existing installation, identify any risks or issues, and either stabilise and support it or plan a structured migration to a newer version or alternative platform.
Do you host Joomla websites as well as design them?
We provide managed hosting for Joomla sites in UK data centres, including backups, security and monitoring, so you have a single partner for both the site and the underlying infrastructure.
Can you integrate Joomla with other systems?
We can integrate Joomla with CRMs, email marketing tools, payment gateways and other services using extensions, APIs or custom development where required.
