[GSBN] natural building library

[Derek Stearns Roff]

I'm not sure I would agree that Joomla is complicated to use, but there is good evidence that it is complicated to learn.  I've just finished a 9.5 hour video course in the basics of Joomla, and I certainly wouldn't call myself an expert.  But a lot of the complexity is inherent in the nature of a database driven web content management system (CMS).  Joomla seems simpler to me so far, than the two other CMS systems that I have been trained on.  I believe that the advantages and power of a CMS are worthwhile for many websites.

Bruce, I would be happy to help, to the extent that I am able, and I have some contacts to whom I could address questions outside my knowledge.

Apparently Joomla is very complicated to use.  Adobe have a good system that my company has changed to - makes life much easier for inexperienced and collaborative web design: http://www.businesscatalyst.com/
I think it would suit the content you are talking about and should save time and frustration.

So, a plea for help:  Anyone out there familiar with Joomla web templates who can advise us?  We can do a lot of heavy lifting, but definitely need seasoned advice.

Thanks, and Happy New Year to all,

Bruce King
