Description

This group wants to focus on getting the marketing material to help make a case why our clients should used Joomla as their CMS platform of choice. Why not Drupal or WordPress. We need some numbers and case studies as well as featured Joomla sites to address the benefits of going Joomla!

The benefits that should be addressed are cost of implementation, cost of maintenance, ease of use, as a start.

Anyone who wants to participate please join. Forward this to a friend.

Go Joomla!

There is some work going on now for making a "official" press release to use for the new Joomla 1.6 release very soon and it would be good if a people used this one for promoting new Joomla 1.6 and translated in their own languages.

Thanks for those interesting insights Amy, but it's my opinion you are still failing to separate someone who is involved in an Open Source project from someone who delivers a commercial solution - we are talking about vendors, not communities. If you feel that they should the same, that's fine, but such opinions will be disruptive to this conversation so please take them elsewhere. This is the third and final time I will insist you keep this thread on topic (it's about architecture remember). Thanks for your understanding.

Michael, my comment was pointed toward our perception in the marketplace rather than what's actually being done with Joomla. We have a gap in what the market thinks we can do and what we're actually doing. That's what this group is about and this discussion is about -- how do we bridge that? The perception is that we're in the middle, more powerful than Wordpress but less powerful than Drupal. That's what my comment was referring to. thanks, Jen

$25/hr is incredibly low in my part of the country. Most are $75-$125/hr. Jen

I agree that the folks with companies like Acuia http://acquia.com/ are positioning them selves in a way where they are trying to may Joomla look less viable as a serious platform for business and larger types of installations. So I noticded they had a top ten reasons to use Drupal so I put together a list with prety much the same argument for Joomla. I posted this in a blog article and quickly crafted a simple pdf for download.

Yea sure I would love it if you want to pass this lnk on since I am trying to sell our services as is is most everyone else pushing the platform but I would love to see others start pushing out more positive cases for Joomla in a way that does not slamm Drupal but pushed the quality of Joomla! CMS.

I have pleanty of development experience and getting used to a WYSIWYG approach to working with Joomla was a but frustrating at first but by far Joomla! at the end of the day is a better value and more flexable solution for our customers.
