The School of SEO is almost ready

You wouldn't get in the driving seat of a race car without taking lessons, yet this is exactly what many have done with SEO. They have taught themselves to drive and just because they can get the car around the track, they think they've "got it". In isolation it might seem like they have, however when compared to those who have received professional training, they are standing still. 

I’ve Heard SEO is like Voodoo Magic. Isn’t it too complicated?
Online traffic is so vast, that little changes can have amazing results. By learning to do SEO the right way, even after the first lessons, you will be able to start making your site more “visible” to the audience you want. You will see results!

The next step: New School of SEO Coming Soon.

To us it just seems like the next step in a natural evolution. Since 2005, with our cool Joomla Templates and Extensions, we have helped hundreds of thousands create Joomla-powered Websites. Then in 2009, we launched the School of Joomla at Joomlashack University to teach you how to build better Joomla-powered websites.

Today we are excited to announce the School of SEO (search engine optimization) and Conversion Optimization.

Its the next logical step because we first helped you create websites. Then we taught you how to build better sites. Today we want to provide you and your clients with the necessary tools to make your websites more successful.

Community template upgraded to Wright and Joomla 1.7!

Community-Joomla-Browsers

Its becoming clear to us that we cannot leave well enough alone.

The JS Community Joomla Template has been a best seller. It's one of those timeless designs that's both an evergreen and a perenial. We werent satisfied with that and have just completed a ground up update to the Wright Framework which makes it lighter, more reliable, and more versatile. Wright also makes it quickly and easily updated to Joomla 2.5 or the newest version of Joomla with the flipping of a switch.

Don't worry, we did not mess the design, we just gave it a cool new logo and added a new demo to help you to see it's potential.

So you think you know Joomla?

You already know that Joomla! gives you the power to quickly and easily build and maintain web sites. However, unless you understand the terminology, principles, and secrets of Joomla, you will never make it sing and dance. Do you want to make Joomla sing and dance?

Do you know the difference between a stylist and a designer? A stylist can make things look good but a designer creates! Have you been getting by merely as a stylist? Are you ready to start creating?

Are you tired of your amateur status and ready to become a Pro?

Meet Ilumina, our newest Joomla Template

ilumina-Joomla-Browsers

This is where we would normally write how excited we are about Ilumina. We are, dont get me wrong. It is one awesome, all-purpose Joomla Template, built on the Wright Framework like all our latests, but you already know that. You also know that because its built with Wright, it will be upgraded to Joomla 2.5 with the flipping of a switch (though we'll still test it extensively).

So today, we've decided not to bore you with our typical Joomla Template launch copy (we'll bore you next time). Instead we thought we could do something fun. If you are interested, please read on... 

Our New Year Gift for You: A New Free Joomla Template

Recycle-Joomla-Browsers

We at the Shack are excited about 2012 and to start off the year well we are releasing this pretty and NEW Free Joomla Template built on the Wright Framework.

During the first years of the Joomla! project, it used to be that you could not throw a stick in the Joomlaverse without hitting a Free Joomla Template. Today however, reliable Free Joomla Templates have become scarce and truly hard to find. Most Joomla Template stores either stopped making them, or they've hid them so deep inside their sites that you'll need Indiana Jones to help you find them. But not us...
