Its Friday afternoon and I’m just chomping at the bit to announce the official launch of the Sterling Fleet Outfitters website.

Joomla! 1.5 CMS

Sterling needed to be able to update the website themselves, and to be able to upload documents (pdf files) in order to showcase the products they offered. They also wanted to be able to post News items that would automatically archive. In addition, they wished to have an online form so their clients could contact them via email without disclosing their address online to would-be spammers… smart.

I couldn’t think of a better solution than Joomla! 1.5 CMS. Joomla provides all the usability features Sterling required and much more! They agreed on the product, and the rest is, as they say - history!

We can see the Joomla themed template design is simple & clean. It is very reflective if their brand (blue, white, grey) with colorful content being the focal point of the page. It is very easy to navigate - as their clients range from the not-so-internet savvy to very savvy.

Thanks to my business associate and friend Rastin Mehr at rmdStudio.com for setting up Joomla! 1.5 CMS on Sterling’s server/hosting account.

Congratulations Sterling on your new internet presence! I’ll see you next week for Joomla training! It was truly a delight to work with you - I wish you much success in all your endeavors!

After the great success of WordCamp Vancouver, a friend of mine Gary Jones of BlueFur is going to host WordCamp Fraser Valley for all the WordPress bloggers out that way… cool!

I’m very happy to announce that the Vancouver Joomla! Day event was well attended with over 120 people eager to learn about Joomla! CMS.

Registration started at 9:00am. Attendees were given a raffle ticket, t-shirt (for those who RSVP’d in time) and Joomla! Day name tag. What a friendly bunch! I got to meet each of them as I assisted Wendy (main organizer) with the registration process.

Coffee, tea muffins and cookies were in abundance thanks to Bread Garden, who also catered lunch with yummy wraps and subs.
