If your school website was designed by an outside company, are they Northern Ireland based - would you recommend them etc? We are looking to outsource our own and have it completely redesigned over the summer holidays.

Ours is done by E-Web Solutions in Portadown. Pm if you want the details of this company

Who does your site at the minute? You could save yourselves a bucket full of money by doing it yourself. There are ready made solutions available and one of the best is Joomla - http://www.joomla.org. I've created a number of sites using it and it's fantastic, C2khelp being one of them.

Sorry Casper,
-- are you running joomla or mambo? And can you say why you picked one over the other?

Casper we do our site at the minute. The problem is a complete lack of time, so we thought with our new Principal and new building on the way, why not a new website too.

Hi byte,
I'm currently using both - c2khelp was created using mambo (got that wrong in my last post) and any new sites I bring online I'm using Joomla. To be honest I don't know why (exactly) I prefer Joomla over mambo. It could be down to the presentation of the backend (it looks prettier :) ) or that it seems to be back-ward compatiable with some of the mambo components that I have used. If Joomla wasn't available I would have no hesitation in sticking with mambo.
I have also used phpnuke in the past and thought it was really good until I discovered mambo. Then it was just blown out of the water. Mambo/Joomla is a great system if you want a quick and easy website setup and very low maintenance/update of it.
