Joomla development — from 1.x to today
We have worked with Joomla since version 1.x — through the 1.5, 2.5, 3.x, and 4.x / 5.x release cycles. That history means we understand the quirks of legacy Joomla installations, the migration path between major versions, and how to build new Joomla sites that will not need a full rebuild at the next major release.
What we build
- New Joomla 5 builds — custom templates, components, and configurations
- Joomla version upgrades — Joomla 1.5 / 2.5 / 3.x / 4.x to current
- Custom Joomla components — bespoke MVC components for complex requirements
- Custom Joomla plugins — system, content, authentication, and search plugins
- Joomla template development — responsive templates built from Figma or PSD
- Joomla performance — caching, image optimisation, database tuning
- Joomla security audits — hardening existing installations against common exploits
- Joomla to WordPress migrations — for organisations simplifying their CMS stack
Should you stay on Joomla?
Joomla 5.x is a modern, actively maintained platform. If your team is comfortable with Joomla and your site is well-structured, there is no compelling reason to migrate. If your installation is old, poorly maintained, or heavily extended with outdated third-party components, we will give you an honest assessment of whether upgrading or migrating is the better investment.
