Since I started on the Internet in 1996 I looked for a suitable system to create and develop web sites and over the years I've tried a number. However it wasn't until I came across Joomla! two years ago that I found what I was looking for; a system that:

• helps me create web sites quickly and easily, 
• helps me maintain and update my web sites easily,
• has the components and tools I feel is necessary to run a business web site,
• can be expanded as my web site grow,
• allows me to create different types and styles of business web sites,
• has numerous different templates that helps me develop sites with different looks and feel,
• has a support system to help me and my clients when needed,

but at the same time I want the independence of running my sites without a license that may cause problems later (one of the systems I tied created havoc with some of my web sites as the owners sold it and the new owners later discontinued the product and this resulted in my web sites closing without notice).

Using Joomla! has helped me in developing the web sites available here while it will allow you to continue with the web site without hassles.
