iStock_000007170770XSmallSo have you heard? The new version of Joomla is here! And if your website was launched prior to January 2012, your site is out of date and you need to upgrade to Joomla 2.5. Your current Joomla site will be supported through April 2012 however once you are past that you can expect that eventually your current site functions will no longer be completely supported by your web hosting company since they will have upgraded their software to support the new upgrade to Joomla 2.5.

The new version contains over 300 bug fixes as well as new features such as:

  • Enhanced article editing
  • Multilingual support, so you can have your website in different languages
  • More SEO features
  • CAPTCHA for improved security on web forms
  • Mobile website support


Take advantage of having a professional web development company handle this critical upgrade to Joomla 2.5. Along with ZERO downtime for your existing site we fix any problems that may occur. We do a full testing of your updated site and you have the ability to review and approve the upgraded site prior to going live. We offer both basic and full upgrade services to choose from. Both of our upgrade plans include:

  • Upgraded Extensions and Template
  • Migration of all existing sections, categories and articles
  • Migration of all menus
  • Migrate content from CCK’s like K2, Flexi-Content, or Zoo (extra charge)
  • Migrate directory entries from Mosets Tree, SOBI, or Zoo (extra charge)
  • Backup, Cache, Firewall, and more tools


In addition our full upgrade service also includes:

  • Fresh installs of all existing modules and components
  • Switching existing extensions to better competitor offerings (requires client approval)
  • Maintaining your Google pagerank by providing redirects for your indexed pages
  • Google Analytics with automated reporting
  • Search Engine and sitemap submission
  • Multimedia plugin for for movies, audio and flash player
  • Favicon and apple icon graphics
  • RSS Feeds
  • and much more.....

And if you’re considering putting off the upgrade because you are worried about the cost, consider this: If your website is hacked without these security fixes in place, you’ll have to hire us to fix it. If this happens not only will your site be down, you’ll be charged our hourly rates plus rush fees as we will need to alter our schedule to fit you in while we troubleshoot, rebuild your site and fix the security vulnerabilities. Save yourself this headache. Be proactive rather then reactive and schedule your upgrade to Joomla 2.5 now.


In addition upgrading to Joomla 2.5 also gives you the opportunity to address features and functions of your current site that can be enhanced:

The art of design is different than that of a fine artist, in that it’s true intention is to communicate with a focused group or target audience. If you fail to create this connection with your audience, the piece of design has failed its intrinsic purpose.

Before venturing into branding, marketing, or social media, you need to figure out some things about your business. The whole point of all those things is to spread the word about you, but if you don’t know what word to spread, you are probably wasting time and money. Since I am a visual person, I put together a little “magnetic poetry” type action for you to play around with.

 YellowWebMonkey just launched a new website for BugsDotCom, a Waco based pest control company that services all of central Texas.  The challenge was to create a website that was not just eye catching, but also interesting,educational and of course, easy for people to find.    The site contains all the information you would expect, plus a few extras.  It has an extensive library of all the products BugsDotCom uses stored in a nifty little file cabinet.  Another fun feature is the Bugapedia, where you can easily identify insects common to the central Texas area.  Did you know "Flies taste with their feet?" Probably not, but check out the Fun Facts that appear throughout the site to learn more about the insects common to Texas. This site includes:

  • Easy to use interface making it easy to schedule an appointment or learn what services they offer
  • Pest Gallery so clients can easily identify pests common to central Texas
  • Integrated with Social Media with large icons making it easy to connect along with a live Twitter feed
  • Downloadable MSDS label base for all of their products
  • Testimonial database
  • Features "Best of Waco"

When the local Ford dealership organized a scavenger hunt to introduce the Ford Fiesta to the Waco market, the YellowWebMonkey Web Design team eagerly signed up.  Scavenger hunts are fun, there was a monetary incentive and it was a great opportunity to spend the afternoon in the Monkey Mobile.  We spent Sunday afternoon cruising around Waco gathering clues.  During the hunt the participants had the opportunity to munch nachos, canoe across the Brazos, snap a quick pick of the Sumatran tiger at Cameron Park Zoo, take a leisurely ride on the train at Lion's Park and delve into the history of Joy and Lady the resident mascots at the Baylor Bear Pit.  Eventually, we even found the Ford Fiesta.

The Fiesta seats four comfortably and is equipped with the Microsoft Sync System for on board navigation and hands free phone service.Although we admired the sporty little Ford, we were much more comfortable in our bright yellow car wrapped in colorful monkeys, Twitter badges and even the American flag.  The Monkey Mobile seats five people with Smartphones or four members of the team armed with three Netbooks, one IPad, four Smartphones and our mobile 4G network.  Our team was prepared for anything.

Even though we didn't win, we had plenty of fun, got lots of exercise and ended the afternoon sharing snow cones with all the competitors.  Thanks to Bird Kultgen Ford for organizing the hunt and congratulations to the winners, The Baylor Driving Club.

in SEO

Just about every website owner wants to get more traffic to their site. You might hire a SEO company to “optimize” your site or you might spend money on advertising, whether its pay-per-click (PPC) or other mediums. Like many others, I routinely look at my Google Analytics to see how these things affect my traffic, hoping for that upward trend line that lets me feel like my website is doing something for my business (umm, especially since my business is web design).

A little while back I saw this huge spike in traffic. From one day to the next, my traffic went up 500% and sustained at that level for two weeks. What was it that brought all these glorious new people to the land of YellowWebMonkey Web Design? It was a CraigsList ad I had posted, looking to hire some part-time data entry help to finish a backlog of projects.

Traffic Increase

That peak got me thinking, “what are some other EASY and FREE ways to get more traffic to my site?” Doing some more research, here is what I came up with:

ALPHA BETA GAMMA DELTA EPSILON…you know the rest. The Greek alphabet has taken on a whole new meaning on campuses across the States and beyond. And YellowWebMonkey wants to know why most Grecian chapters haven’t expanded their reach to the Internet. As students, the Internet is one of our primary tools of communication.  We e-mail our teachers with excuses, we check grades through Blackboard, we socialize through Facebook, we Google at the first hint of ignorance…so when are Greeks going online? Some good reasons:
