• “Wait. What is stopping me from signing up on WordPress or Joomla myself at no charge?”

The answer to that question is simple: There is absolutely nothing stopping you at all. We believe honesty is the best policy and want to make it clear from the beginning that anybody can set up a website on WordPress or Joomla if they know how. For those who don’t know how or simply cannot afford the time to learn how to deal with the initial setup and setup management of site content and ftp details, Sigmataf is willing to take care of these aspects for you at an affordable price. Having used WordPress on numerous occasions before and having just learned how to utilize Joomla, we at Sigmataf are familiar and efficient at these processes and know the “do’s and don’ts” that speed these processes up. Furthermore, we can link your custom domain to your WordPress site for you so that, imagining your company name is Johannesburg Confectionary and your registered domain is “www.jhbconfectionary.co.za”, your domain will not contain the standard WordPress or Joomla domain formats (e.g.: “www.jhbconfectionary.worpress.com”), but will rather have a stand-alone domain as it should.

• “Okay, so WordPress or Joomla?”

Both have their advantages, but if we were presses for an opinion, we’d rather advise clients that are newer at facilitating and managing a website to go the WordPress route. Either way, it is all about your personal preference at the end of the day and Sigmataf can manage your needs, as well as aid you wherever you need with Joomla.

• “Fair enough, but why ‘Wordpress’? Why not make sites from scratch?”

 Wordpress has been around for many years and has allowed developers to actively contribute to enhancing the standards and stability of its infrastructure openly and freely. Over the years it has evolved into what it is today: An online system that combines the functionality of a website with that of a weblog or “blog”; offers the user the opportunity to create a fully working, professional grade website within minutes; edit and fully control the content management of the site easily and efficiently and take a few more man-hours (significantly less than the traditional way of making a site from scratch that can take up to months) to customise an authentic look and feel for the site. WordPress also allows you to keep the info on your site as current as you want it, at the drop of a hat, while archiving older info for any interested parties to read whenever they want. This means that a great deal of work required when building a site from scratch is already completed and that only tweaking and adjusting one’s site is left to do. Due to this, we are able to create a custom website for our clients, using fewer man hours; less effort; less problem solving; fewer hiccups and offering instant stability; an easy to navigate user interface and more control and flexibility – which allows us to drop our prices significantly while giving our clients more freedom and control over their own websites.

• “What if I am not tech-savvy enough to manage my own WordPress site?”

Sigmataf won’t leave you in the dark. When setting up a WordPress site for our clients, we take the time to teach them how to log into the administrator’s dashboard; familiarize them with the user interface and layout; teach them how to add and/or edit content and pages; as well as, offer tips and advice on how to become more efficient in future. We, at Sigmataf will ensure that you, the client, will be able to manage your own website completely on your own.

• “What if I simply don’t have the time to manage my site on my own, or am unable to get someone within my own staff to run it for me?”

If this is the case, Sigmataf can facilitate and manage your site for you at an additional monthly cost, either on a permanent basis, or until such a time as you are able to find someone within your own staff to do so. Also, for an additional fee, Sigmataf can customise the design of your site should you not be able to do so for whatever reason.
