Knowledge is valuable - Wisdom is priceless!
SpinTheWeb.com + Joomla! = Websites Made Simple!
Can you send an email and make a few words bold?
If the answer is YES - YOU CAN maintain a website! The simple truth of the matter is that if you can select text and click a button to make it bold - you have all the technical skill you need to manage a website. Sure, there is a bit more than that like saving and uploading pictures, linking pages to menus etc; but none of those are any harder than making text bold.
Learn to work WITH your website. With live training packages starting as low as $79/month you can learn what you can do with your website from a seasoned pro.
- All paid partnerships include free web hosting and Content Management System support. (we offer free accounts too - if you just need information)
When it comes to building websites - you really only need to know one name:
Joomla! is a well supported OpenSource Content Management System (CMS) that can be run out of the box or customized to the Nth degree to meet your needs. You would have a hard time finding a type of website that cannot be built using Joomla.
Learn what sets this CMS apart from all the rest.
Did I mention that Joomla is free and you can probably run it on your website right now?
SpinTheWeb.com develops heavily on opensourced tools because tools made by LOTS of people are way cooler than most retail products made by one company - usually...
There are so many things you can do online. Your website is is just a part of your online presence.
You can blog, podcast, run newsletters and ezines, post articles, sell goods, services, membership sites, training, chat, have discussions on forums, share photos and video, talk to your friends for free with skype, get paid online with paypal, manage events and the list goes on and on for what seems like forever!
Then once you finally get down to business - you need to learn how to work with whatever it is you are building your website/online presence with. This is where it gets rough. First and foremost the language used to talk about software is geek speak at best.
And it gets bad from here... If you have ever tried to learn "how to ..." you have undoubtedly experienced information overload.
I'll change that information overload to "this is how you do that" - no matter what you want to know!
All you have to do is ask.
- Additional Supported Programs
Drupal - another opensource content management system. More of a developers tool box. Much more flexible access control than Joomla, but not for long.
Serendipity - The best platform there is for blogging and podcasting! Sure Wordpress is popular but Serendipity is WAY better!
Moodle - Online Learning and Ecourse delivery. The only full fledged opensourced online school.
Zencart - Standalone Online Store. If you only need an online store this is the one to use. I still prefer Virtuemart in Joomla but sometimes this is better for the end user. Post Affiliate Pro - Online Partners program software. The only paid program I really promote but for good reason...
Vtiger - Do you have customers? Customer Relationship Management (I use this for billing and invoicing - it does SO much more)
WebCEO - Need to know web data? Tracks everything from search engine positions to PPC conversion tracking in real time. I use the paid service from them for tracking online campaigns at CTA.
LimeSurvey - Need to collect data in the form of surveys or assessments? Check out this free survey tool, you won't be dissapointed!
and I could keep going...
Long story short is this: I am not a "webmaster" or a guy who builds websites- I am an offsite IT department when it comes to web related tools and technologies.
Working as Spintheweb.com since '96 - believe me when I tell you I "have been there done that" on more topics than anybody you will ever meet. I am the guy your webmaster or systems administrator asks when they can't figure something out.
So if you are looking to learn how to do pretty much anything online - this is a good place to start.
Just Call and Ask...
