Joomla Training For Busy People

Managing websites without the help of a webmaster has quickly become one of the most popular ways for small businesses to save money.

Joomla makes it easy because everything is point and click but if you're just starting out, knowing where everything is can take a while.

In this 3 hour training, you will learn all the basics of

• Installing Joomla
• Selecting and installing a theme
• Adding components, modules and plugins
• Managing your content into categories
• Formatting your articles
• Selecting a good hosting company
• Joomla security

Joomla is a powerful CMS (Content Management System) that can help you reach your customers. We will also cover security as that is a big concern within the Joomla community. You will walk away with a clear understanding of how to use Joomla and receive a recording of the training session! This fast paced offering is perfect for business owners new to Joomla and website designers looking to brush up on a new skill!

Reviews from our "Install Joomla From Scratch Workshop"

"Great workshop! Adria is a great instructor!  Ms. Richards is very down to earth while being very professional. Her confidence and skill in her ability makes you feel very comfortable."

-- Arnold Lewis 

"I really enjoyed and appreciated the way Adria was willing to take time with each of the attendees to get to the same point in a Joomla installation. If she showed this much patience with attendees in a free webinar, I am convinced she pays that much attention to paying attendees! I'm looking at her courses offered online now."

-- Vanden Bosche

"I had huge expectations regarding this workshop, but they were more than exceeded. Adria Richards was an incredible host, teacher, and guide through the process of installing Joomla. She was extremely well prepared. I thought the pace of the workshop might have been a bit too fast for absorption of a non-technical person, but was GREAT for a person who has some familiarity with the things that were going on."

Based on our very successful, Wordpress Training For Busy People, we're looking forward to this new course offering for Joomla!

Your Instructor

Adria Richards, technology trainer and consultant, helps business professionals learn essential web technologies through hands-on training. Adria has been working with Joomla since 2005 and before that when it was known as Mambo.  She has done countless installs, supported clients and managed CMS installations.  Adria is a frequent speaker and attendee of conferences that leverage web applications, blogging and social media including SXSW, Blogworld, BlogHer, several Wordcamps and technology events.

"I got a lot more out of this training than with most online classes I've experienced. Adria doesn't just guide you through the steps of creating a site, she tells you what the steps mean, so you feel more confident in the skills you take away from the class. She really is about empowering her students, not just setting up their sites for them."
