No9WebDesign

Exciting News!

Pascm.net and No9 Web Design are proud to announce that we are now one organization! After several months of exploratory pre-merger assessment, the boards of both organizations agreed to merge. We believe our formal unification will bring short-term and long-term benefits to all of our clients and the communities that we serve.

Pascm.net and No9WebDesign.com are proud to announce our new name of GoZen Host and that we have recently completed an entire new website and marketing campaign. We partnered with No9 Web Design to give us a new brand, facelift and website. We are very pleased with the results. We are focusing on the future and making web development and our superior hosting plans more accessible online.

Like many Web Design companies , No9 Web Design and Pascm.net have explored many options over the last two years to sustain our culturally specific and relevant services while insulating our programs from current economic challenges. Although community support for our organizations has remained strong, significant declines in government support combined with shrinking foundation funding have challenged our long-term sustainability as separate entities. The boards concluded that the best way to achieve sustainability and expand the services we offer would be to combine our operations.

Both organizations were founded in the mid-1990s and serve International community. Both organizations, No9 Web Design and Pascm.net, are deeply rooted in their communities and have long supported each other. By combining resources, we will able to provide robust services for our clients. We will serve a broader International community—including East Asia and European communities.

This is a new chapter in all of our lives, and you have been a vital part of the process for this partnership. We truly appreciate the remarkable dedication and trust you have placed in our organizations. Thanks go out to all our staffs, community members, ally organizations, and funders, who provided their perspective and advice on how to move forward. Your input was invaluable and helped us gauge support, identify key concerns, and shape our next steps. Please take a few moments and browse our new web site!

Sincerely,

The Board

Joomla

Joomla is an award-winning CMS (content management system), which enables you to build a robust web site. Many aspects have made Joomla the most popular web site software available. Once your Joomla site is up and running, anyone with basic word processing skills can update it by adding content, managing images and keeping company-critical data up-to-date via a simple, browser-based interface.

Drupal

E-commerce has entered a new era. The time when e-commerce only meant managing a catalog and organizing a check-out process is over. The merchants' expectations are now much broader. E-commerce is about managing the right combination between 4 key Concepts ~ Commerce, Channels, Content and Community.

Wordpress

In WordPress, it’s easy to create and edit categories, to write theme-lines for all your categories at once, and even easy to tell when you're writing too many words for the page. If you’re looking for a publishing tool that lets you concentrate on ideas instead worrying about the mechanics of production, WordPress may be just the thing for you.

Should I upgrade my site to Joomla 2.5?

That is totally up to you! In order to make better decision, you may wish to keep reading.

What are the benefits of upgrading?

Improved Search Engine Optimization Joomla! has come a long way in terms of its out-of-the-box SEO features. It allows you greater control over many behind-the-scenes SEO factors. Better SEO means it is easier for prospects to find your client and more revenue for their business. Easier management of content and productivity improvements There have been a number of improvements in the management side of the website. If you are managing the site yourself, it can save you valuable time. If you are paying someone to manage it for you, it can save you money because changes can be made quicker. Easier “One-Click” upgrades with update notification The Joomla! update process has been greatly improved in 2.5 and offers numerous benefits for your client including better security, saved time and saved expenses. Access to the latest improvements and newest features Joomla! 2.5 allows access to all of the most recent improvements and features. This is an invaluable selling point and a major benefit of the upgrade.

What are the negatives of not upgrading?

Security – increased risk of being hacked: This is by far the biggest reason for upgrading. After September 2012, security releases for 1.5 will no longer be available. This leaves your clients’ websites vulnerable to newly discovered security exploits. Downtime, reputation, data loss or many of the other negatives associated with security breaches are major concerns for most people and should be discussed with your client. Stagnation – harder / more expensive to add new features: As each new version of Joomla! becomes available, extension developers focus their programming efforts on newer versions and phase out support for older versions. This means that extensions will become harder to find or may not be available at all. So, the addition of a needed feature may require custom development, which can be expensive. Technology Obsolescence Server and browser technology is continually being changed and improved. As newer versions of PHP and MySQL phase in older versions will begin to phase out. Hosting providers will begin migrating to the improved platforms possibly leaving older installs in the dust. As end-user technology such as computers, mobile devices, and browsers improve and change, they focus on the newer technology and web standards. Websites built on older technology cannot take advantage of these newer features and in some instances may not be accessible to them. Your client may lose part of their audience and may give their competitors an advantage. Mobile is a great example of this. Investments in an older version may not transfer during upgrades If your client is making investments in their current 1.0 / 1.5 site it may not easily update and they may have to redo some of that work after upgrading to 2.5.

Do I have to upgrade right away?

No. Even as the versions of Joomla! reach “End-of-life,” effective April of 2012, the websites will continue to function just as they did before. There are certain risks associated with not upgrading or with delaying the upgrade, but you do not have to upgrade.

Don't worry, spam is for jerks and jerks we are not!
