Looking for website backend programmer

**bostonbrian** · 03-02-2008 02:07 PM

Right now our website is using a CMS and will need to have it optimized and uploaded regularly with new products and research and development information. My expertise is more on the marketing and sales side of e-commerce, looking particularly for someone with the functionality of e-commerce websites. Will need to implement better shipping and handling functionality very soon. More projects to be developed.

Will discuss either payment for services or potential as a shareholder depending on your background, experience, and interest in working together.

Our website link is published in my sig.

Cheers,
Brian

**global01** · 03-05-2008 03:28 AM

of course is Joomla

**bostonbrian** · 03-05-2008 06:52 PM

What do you mean by sef optimized? Search engine friendly?

Yes I am using Joomla CMS.

**global01** · 03-06-2008 08:11 AM

Exactly. SEF Search Engine Friendly.
Check in your Joomla configuration for can use SEF.
Another ideas.. move the login form to the bottom, i dont think u have a lot of users registered.
Put faqs and links in other menu and remove from the actual
U can use a module with virtuemart that show your products in the first page, check this that we maked for a brasilians clients.
investronice2010.com - mastrofreeshop.com
theser websites havent SEF because his webhosting use suexec.
You need have a "friendly design" for take visits into customers.
I hope u can understand my english.

Thanks, I looked into the SEF joomla option in the config. Just had me rename a txt file and click a radio button, seemed pretty simple. Was there anything else?

Changed around the layout a bit as well.

We have ~ 20 users so far, with a target market of 100,000 Ford Focus owners.

Your website isnt working already and i can't check your changes

Your users need login in the joomla for what? u have some links that only can watch registered users?
Moving down the login box and showing better your products will be good for your online store.
Too for take a better position in the search engines (gooo.. yah... ms... )
I will try more late check again your website.

Well, in making those changes I managed to delete joomla/virtuemart. lol, not a good day.

Trying to restore it now.

**global01** · 03-06-2008 03:55 PM

ups... not a good new.. ok.. i will check more late

**pentupentropy** · 03-06-2008 04:42 PM

you have to watch if you're using anything like the community builder username URL rewrite plugin. You will have to modify .htaccess at the bottom with the code from that as well for the 404's. You also wanna watch that cuz then users can change their username and it screws with stuff. Also make sure you have the template you want.

There was a new release 1.0.15... security update. Apply it now if you can.

If you need any more help with joomla let me know. Most of my sites are powered by joomla or mambo. I'm pretty familiar with the mods/components and plugins.

**global01** · 03-06-2008 05:57 PM

if u need some help with the website ask me, i see u still work around

**bostonbrian** · 03-06-2008 10:39 PM

Thanks guys... working on getting it back up, stuck on the reinstall part where I configure the MySQL...

Edit: Thanks pentupentropy for the guidance, was able to get joomla reinstalled with virtuemart again. Will likely take another couple days to recreate our product database, but... hopefully it will be better than before!

**global01** · 03-07-2008 03:57 PM

I see you still working in the website, one little advise, put in the index page that u are showing now smth about your products, for gooooooogle nad others robot can "catch" some information.
