Joomla! Documentation™

Before you get "your feet wet" with Joomla!, you may want to think about the bigger picture aspects of your Web site. For example, most Web site projects benefit from advance planning and defining the nature and scope of the project. Ask yourself questions like:

• What do you want to accomplish with your website?
• What is the nature and quantity of content you wish to present?
• Who is your audience, and how do you want to interact with them?
• What types of budgets or timetables are you working within?

Writing down these key questions and their answers will help focus your efforts and guide the decisions you make as you implement your project.

A tom-cross.com constitui a frente on-line e física de uma empresa de comércio de acessórios, peças e motas, exercendo a sua actividade desde Junho 2010 e tendo como objectivo conquistar o mercado com a sua qualidade de serviço, seriedade e apresentação.

A TOM-CROSS traz assim até ao cliente, material de qualidade e novidades a todos os níveis. Em Junho de 2010 estabeleceram-se parcerias com algumas empresas do ramo com o principal objectivo de satisfazer o cliente particular e empresarial.

Embora o ramo de actividade principal de TOM-CROSS seja o comércio de acessórios, peças e motas, o seu lançamento para o mundo do motociclismo não ficará por aqui.

A missão de TOM-CROSS é a de constituir uma alternativa diversificada e sólida e disponibilizar o serviço e apoio que o cliente não dispensa.

No decorrer de 2011 haverá lançamentos de novas marcas, produtos e serviços quase todos os dias. Esteja atento!

How much knowledge do I need to implement Joomla! ?

Although a low level of technical knowledge is required to use Joomla! on a day-to-day basis, you will need to know a bit more in order to install it. Joomla!'s installation process includes uploading files to a Web server via FTP, creating a new MySQL database, and then proceeding through Joomla!'s Web-based installation wizard. (Fortunately, many Web hosting companies include Web site control panels which make it easy to handle technical tasks, including adding a MySQL database, and installing Joomla!.)

Customising the structure, content and presentation of your Joomla! site involves working within Joomla!'s Web-based interfaces; if you want to significantly change the Web site design from the default templates, you will need to either install a third-party template package or create your own template out of Web-ready images and HTML, Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) and/or Javascript code.

Knowledge of the PHP programming language or programming concepts in general is not required to install, customise and administer Joomla!.

Please, don't let any of that scare you off. This is the Absolute Beginner's Guide to Joomla! and you will learn what is needed if you invest a bit of time in reading and trying out these ideas. Now, should we begin?
