JoomlArt's Blog

We have seen a big wave of new product launches around cloud computing and hosting since last year. And it has even become hotter during the past few weeks. Recently Amazon announced it's Free Usage Tier starting from November 1st, 2010. In this tutorial we will show you how to get your own Joomla (or Drupal, Wordpress) site hosted for free with Amazon EC2.

If you are good at creating templates for Wordpress, Joomla or Drupal, then your skills are in hot demand. Take alone the various freelance places, where many web owners are offering front-end developers tons of projects at attractive rates.

But beyond freelancing you could also start creating templates and sell them online as digital products. Big advantage vs. hard products: Relatively inexpensive production cost.

Last Wednesday, Nov 03, Google's Webmaster Central Blog introduced the release of a module for Apache called mod_pagespeed - making your "websites run faster, automatically ... by about 2x in average". Have you watched the comparison video showing amazing facts and figures? Sounds very exciting how this module can improve your site's loading time.

Nowadays it's nothing new to people, the concept "Try It Before You Buy". Especially in beauty shops you are offered to test free trial sized products like shampoo or lotions for instance. So the question is, does it make any sense, if the product is of low quality owners would let anybody test before paying? NO of course not! They firmly trust in the quality of their own products which allows them to approach new customers with a free sample trial.

The Contest and the Winning Design

We started a design contest at 99designs in July and invited top talents world-wide to design a bonus template that further adds diversity to our portfolio. We are very positively impressed by the outcome of this contest. With a cash prize not less than $2500, this considerable sum has attracted 164 submitted entries over a period of 3 weeks. The winning design concept is now appended to JA's design library as JA Community Plus BONUS template in addition to our monthly releases. We hope you like this template.
