Joomlashack Welcomes Brian Teeman
Dear Joomlashack Friends,
Starting in January, Brian will take over the job of Director of the School of Joomla! at Joomlashack University from our good friend Forest Linden. Forest will forever be one of the co-founders of our wonderful University and for that we will be eternally thankful. Forest left big shoes to fill as he worked tirelessly during these last two years to create a comprehensive collection of lessons, classes, and video tutorials all in an unparalleled level of quality and ease of use. There are not many people who could fill the void Forest has left behind, but we are confident Brian is more than up to the challenge.
Joomlashack was founded on September 2nd 2005, the day after the Joomla project got started. Since then, for almost 7 years, our history and Brian’s have run parallel and at times crossed paths and intertwined. When asked about coming aboard and becoming one of the team members of the Shack, Brian had this to say:
“I’ve been fortunate to teach Joomla to a great number of people and I’m excited to have the opportunity to ‘Spread The Joomla Love’ to a wider audience... Joomlashack is one of the oldest and most respected Joomla companies’ out there, it is a great honour to join them.”
We too are honored to have Brian join the Joomlashack Team. His experience and keen Joomla insights will prove to be the driving force that will allow the School of Joomla! at Joomlashack University to prepare individuals and companies how to face the Joomla! web-design challenges 2012 will bring. You can be sure Brian will be the man to help you with all the Joomla 2.5 questions you have.
Please join us in giving a hearty Shack welcome to Brian,
Team Joomlashack
Verdant template upgraded to Wright and Joomla 1.7!
We are well into the month of December and here at the Shack, we are still working hard for you. We will continue working the remainder of the month and hope to release two more templates before the month is over.
Impacto template gets a Joomla 1.7 update!
We're excited to announce that we've just updated Impacto—one of our most popular templates—to Joomla 1.7!
It takes roughly 100 man-hours to upgrade one of our templates to our versatile and dynamic Wright Framework. It may look the same, but for all intents and purposes, this is a brand new template. Besides being a great all-purpose Joomla template perfect for any site, Impacto is also a powerful Landing Page for your advertising campaigns.
Our commitment to providing you with the BEST Customer Support experience in the Joomlasphere
Dear Joomlashack Friends,
In our continuing effort to bring you the very best customer support experience in the Joomlasphere, it is with great pride that I share some recent developments we've made to our support system and briefly explain how these new developments will help us serve you even better...even faster than before.
About six months ago, TJ Baker, our Director of Support, sat me down and explained to me that although customer satisfaction was at an all-time high in the history of Joomlashack, he was not satisfied and felt there was still room for improvement...

5 Things Web Designers Can Do To Land More Clients and Build a Successful Web Design Business
Before I joined Joomlashack I had my own web design business like many of you. My clients were a diverse bunch that kept me pretty busy—small businesses, restaurants, Fortune 500 brands, hip hop producers and multi-platinum rock bands. I grew my portfolio from 2 local clients in 1996 to over 50 billable, monthly clients from all over the world just a few years later.
Web designer friends of mine in big cities, like New York and Chicago, struggled mightily to land clients like mine, and whenever we would talk, they'd always ask me, "dude, no offense, but how are YOU getting these clients?"
I wasn't offended. I understood their frustration. After all, these guys were all in big cities where there were supposed be big opportunities for them, and here I was, a 'one-man operation' in small-town Ohio landing the types of big clients they could only dream about.
These guys were über talented (definitely more talented than me), and I assumed they were doing all the things I was doing to get clients. But I was surprised to find out they weren't.
While they stayed in their studios and focused solely on designing, I was out there promoting my business and getting new clients.
Here are 5 things you can do, that my friends didn't do, to get new clients, too:

Must Have Web Tools
I've been designing Joomla websites and templates for over 5 years now and a lot has changed in my productivity and production cycle throughout the years. I've found some great tools in my career as a web designer and just wanted to share some of the web developer tools that I think are a must.
