Question:
Can you migrate my website to Joomal! 1.7?
Answer
Yes, of course we can! We have written a tutorial which gives an explanation of how you can do this yourself, but if you'd rather we did it for you, that's not a problem.
Question:
How much will it cost to migrate my website to Joomla! 1.7?
Answer
If we asked you to plan the catering for a party but didn't tell you how many guests were coming, you would have to take a stab in the dark and make several assumptions to come out with an estimate. Without more information about your site, this is exactly the situation we face. Please provide us with the following information as an absolute minimum when you ask this question, to receive an accurate response:
- Current Joomla! version
- Current Joomla! template
- Critical extensions to be migrated (including components, modules and plugins)
- Whether a redesign is to be included as part of the migration
- Extensions or functionality you would like to incorporate into the migrated site (if appropriate)
- Timeframe for migration
Question:
I have an extension which is not currently available in Joomla! 1.7 - can you convert it?
Answer
Yes, we are able to convert open source, un-encrypted extensions from 1.5 native to 1.6/1.7 native. We may be able to convert 1.0 extensions but please provide details which will allow us to provide an accurate quote.
Question:
How long will it take to migrate my website to Joomla! 1.7?
Answer
This depends entirely on the complexity of your site, whether you need a site redesign, wish to incorporate new features, and whether we encounter any problems along the way. Basic migrations take between 1-2 days, more complex migrations may take 1-2 weeks or longer. Once we have the information required we will create an estimate for the work. You can rest assured that as an ethical company, we will only charge you for the work that we actually carry out - if this comes in at less than our estimate, then we'll charge you the lower amount rather than round it up to what we estimated.
Question:
How many migrations to 1.7 have you done?
Answer
We've currently completed 20 successful migrations, including live sites and development sites, migrations from 1.5.x to 1.7.0 and migrations from 1.6.x to 1.7.0. We've not yet had a 1.0.x to 1.7.0 migration but we're expecting some to come up soon!
