Joomla! Recognized in EContent 100

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

EContent today published their EContent 100 List of Companies that Matter Most in the Digital Content Industry. Joomla is listed in the category ‘Content Management’. All the winners will be honored at the Buying & Selling eContent Conference next April 5-6 in Scottsdale, Arizona.

EContent described their Content Management category like this:
CM and its kin—ECM, WCM, DAM, MAM, TCM, and so on—are the darlings of technology acronyms. CM’s predecessors, document management and knowledge management, along with new buddies such as globalization and localization tools, nip at its heels as it leads the pack as the end-all and do-all for managing today’s amorphous information masses. Yet while content management purports to be all things to all people, its true power may actually lie in its flexibility to change shape to fit each new business problem set before it.

EContent said, “To help the magazine better evaluate the vast range of products and services on the market, not to mention the ever-emerging novel approaches, our EContent 100 judging team has changed a bit this year. This incredible group gathered together in our Socialtext wiki for a month, reviewing previous list members and considering a slew of worthy new contenders. As ever, the process was daunting—yet incredibly rewarding.”

“We hope that you find the list as valuable as we did the process of creating it. As ever, we welcome your feedback and look forward to the continued innovation in the tools and the way they are applied in the year to come.”

Optimize your Joomla website for the iPhone

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008


With huge numbers of new subscribers to the iPhone every single day it is certainly worth your while having your website optimized to be viewed in an attractive way on the iPhone screen.

Certainly, companies that want to maintain their commanding position need a comprehensive iPhone optimization strategy. Business web sites need to optimize their sites for the iPhone so that they continue to deliver the same high-quality experience that clients enjoy on their Mac and PC every day.

The fact that your web site works on popular browsers such as Firefox, Internet Explorer or even Apple’s Safari browser is no guarantee that your site will work well on the iPhone. There is even the possibility that the site will not work at all. The iPhone’s browser is a special version of Safari made specifically for the iPhone. It currently lacks support for both Flash and Java, technologies often used on business Web sites.

Navega Bem - Web Design‘ offers a full website optimization service to get your website looking good, easy to navigate and running fast on the iPhone.
