Alltraders have designed and developed websites for dozens of customers since it launched the Joomla! Content Management System services in Australia in early 2007. Companies in industries as diverse as construction, finance, Information Technology, Public Relations and direct marketing are using their Joomla! website to inform, interact and attract customers.
Malcolm Downie, Executive Manager Corporate Property of the Adelaide City Council had this to say about Alltraders and Joomla! - "I am writing to thank you for the prompt and professional service provided by Alltraders in the development of the www.wingfieldrecycling.com.au website for the Wingfield Waste & Recycling Centre. Alltraders delivered a website that met our requirements and expectations, both on time and on budget. We were extremely satisfied with the result.
In all our contact with Alltraders and its representatives, we appreciated the friendly and problem-solving attitude that was evident. All requested changes and enhancements were provided quickly. In fact, one of the greatest benefits of the Joomla! content management system, which underpins the website developed and hosted by Alltraders, is the ease with which changes can be made. An example of this is the rotating picture show on the Wingfield and Find Us pages, which were created within hours of our suggesting this enhancement. In conclusion, we would commend Alltraders as a credible service provider for anyone who wants to develop a quick, affordable and effective website."
David Stevens, managing director of Babyboomers Pty Ltd says "Joomla! provided us with a content managed system and an array of features we could add on as we developed our website and customer base. We particularly liked the fact that the system was updated as changes were made to the operating systems. Alltraders have been really responsive to our business and website needs in developing the website and giving ongoing support. They have met challenges we have set in developing a very sophisticated website as a community portal with a requirement for state of the art interactive features."
"Joomla! has made the process of managing my website much easier than ever before," reports John Harris, managing director of Impress Media Australia (www.impress.com.au). "My old website was a pain to update, pages often displayed inconsistently and I was forever finding out of date content. Now I can publish a new page in seconds, add new functions like RSS news feed in minutes and maintain a tight, tidy look and feel. Old content can be removed with the click of a button without disrupting the website structure."
Gordon Kay, managing director of building industry software specialist ESS (www.steelbuilder.com.au) said Joomla! had provided a terrific tool for supporting his business. "From the decision to proceed, we had the Steelbuilder website up and running within two weeks," he said. "Since the site went live last year (2007), we have extended its functionality significantly by adding a secure customer forum, a downloadable document manager and an issue tracking system that is now part of our company's workflow. I cannot imagine how much time or cost that would have required with a standard website. With Joomla!, the website extensions were quick, easy and affordable."
Sheree Hyde, who owns Kids Around Town (www.kidsaroundtown.com.au), is using her Joomla! website to both sell online advertising and advertising space in the Kids Around Town Family Voucher Book. "This is my first experience of running a website. There is a large selection of great looking website templates to choose from, and the maintenance is so easy that I can do it myself." she said. "It has already paid for itself within the first two months as well as given Kids Around Town a prominence that we could not have afforded through traditional media channels. Also Google has quickly registered our site, making it even more visible."
Marcia Evans, Executive Officer of CCI Group Purchasing says: "Alltraders were the winning tender up against bigger players. They offered a personalised service and this became an essential part of our Website re-development. Their staff were always accessible to answer queries and help me put the whole thing together. Ours was not an easy exercise, so communication was very important. Alltraders made their facilities available on many occasions to make the writing and implementation smooth sailing.
They have grown a great deal since we started and I can see that some of the changes that they have made, will make life even easier for all who decide to use them in the future. The response from our members and suppliers alike has been very positive and the website is now a very useful tool for CCI Group Purchasing."
