Customers are crucial to any business model, and we understand that customer support plays an extremely important role here. It is difficult to make every individual customer happy. Hence I decided to take this opportunity to give you a tour around the workings of the customer support system today, with a few infographics down below (We know how wording can be puzzling and confusing, visualization is a much better option to stick with), and hopefully give you guys a chance to be in our shoes, even for a few minutes.

I have been considering making a BIG change on how our customer support works. The idea came to me during my last visit to Stackideas.com - the best Joomla extension provider in the community (at least it is in my book). The support forum just blew me away with the Flattr button located at the bottom of each answer. When I found the answer to my problem, I could “thank” the author with Flattr. This allows them to later exchange this donation for real cash $$$. If you do not how Flattr works, jump over to the Flattr page website to get an insight.

Over the last few weeks, I have spent a lot of my time digging deeper into Flattr. I strongly believe it is the perfect system for our JoomlArt community along with our current private ticket system (using Kayako) and open support system on our forum (running Vbulletin)

Building a Joomla 2.5 or Joomla 3 multilingual site can be tricky, we encountered difficulties while trying to setup multi-language demo site to demonstrate our RTL language layouts for our latest templates. We developed a internal tool to overcome the problems we faced and we thought why not add more options and release the extension as FREE for the benefit of the Joomla! community.

If you could recall our old JoomlArt site, we used to have a complicated demo system for everything but Joomla extensions. We never had a dedicated demo site for our Joomla extensions, and guys normally had to go through info page or templates demo in order to see how the extensions function.

We did take time to work on this and guess what: a whole new and complete site only for extensions demo is out. The Extensions Demo site serves as a showcase for 25 Joomla Extensions Club extensions for Joomla 2.5 & Joomla 3, including modules, plugins and components.

Some of you may already be familiar with our heavy and complex Document system in Forums for both Joomla and Magento. Frankly speaking, Forums is not a good place to read userguide and documentation. Userguides and documents were put as forum threads and posts and in which we have received complaints from our users that they could not find documentation anywhere or it’s hard to view and follow. Understand the issues, we have started working on our new documentation site, along with new live site development.

After 2-month of effort, we are glad to introduce the all new Documentation site with a complete makeover in term of design and structure.

Update: We've developed a new basetheme from the ground up for Magento 2. Check it out in the live demo of UB MegaMall theme here

Magento extension JM Basetheme is our ambition to deliver one of the best tools for Magento geeks to customize our Magento themes.

For just a little look back, there was a time we got stuck with default colors like Black, White, Blue, Red and so on. You wished for a touch out-of-default? Our Magento team did offer a CSS file in which you could modify the codes yourself, provided that you had time to kill and experience about CSS.

It was not convenient at all, so it came the launch of JM Basetheme - a powerful tool in which you could personalize sites with our Magento themes at ease. Here comes livelier shades of colors - Emerald, Maroon, Ghostwhite, Turquoise, LavenderBlush, whatever in just some clicks!

After 2 consecutive months of constantly experimenting, re-designing and optimizing the entire JoomlArt.com, we can finally call it DONE (or at least close to what we would like it to be). And for that, we just want to officially:

The old versus the new home
