Why choose Intelivita for joomla web development?

Choose Intelivita when you need a Joomla website built for structured content, several user roles or more than one language. Here are 4 reasons UK businesses work with us on Joomla:

25+ custom Joomla websites delivered

We have built 25+ custom Joomla websites with secure access structures, flexible content modules and multilingual support.

Templates and features built for your site

We build Joomla templates around your brand rather than adapting a purchased theme. We use established extensions such as Akeeba Backup and RSForm! Pro where they fit, and build custom features where they don't.

User access and languages set up properly

We configure Joomla's user groups and access levels so each team sees and edits only its own content. On multilingual sites, we link each page to its translations with language associations, so visitors switch language without losing their place.

Updates, upgrades and support after launch

After launch, we keep the Joomla core and extensions up to date, schedule backups and apply security fixes. We also upgrade sites running older, unsupported Joomla versions without losing content or URLs.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cost of Joomla web development in the UK?

The cost of Joomla web development in the UK ranges from £2,500 to £15,000 (pounds), depending on the project scope, custom features, third-party integrations, and ongoing maintenance requirements. Larger or feature-rich Joomla websites may exceed £15,000 based on complexity and business needs.

What is Joomla Web Development and how does it differ from other CMS?

Joomla web development is the process of creating and managing websites using Joomla, a flexible open‑source content management system (CMS). Joomla provides built-in multilingual support, advanced user access control, and modular content organization that suit structured and complex sites. Unlike other CMS platforms like WordPress, which is more plugin-dependent, Joomla is best for medium to large websites that prefer structured content, complex menus, and varied user roles.

How long will it take to build a website using Joomla?

It takes between 4 to 12 weeks to build a website using Joomla depending on the complexity and required features. Complex Joomla websites with custom extensions, integrations, or advanced workflows can exceed this duration due to extra development and review steps.

What are essential Joomla extensions that agencies integrate?

Essential Joomla extensions add specific features beyond the core CMS to improve functionality without custom coding. Common extensions include Akeeba Backup for site backup and restoration, Convert Forms or RSForm! PRO for contact and lead capture forms, and Advanced Module Manager to control module placement and display conditions. Popular tools like AcyMailing support email newsletters and subscriber management, while gallery extensions such as Phoca Gallery help display images and media. For e‑commerce needs, extensions like VirtueMart or J2Store provide shopping cart and product management capabilities on Joomla websites.

Do you migrate an existing website to Joomla?

Yes, we migrate existing websites to Joomla with a structured process that preserves your content, SEO structure, and user data. Whether you're moving from WordPress, Drupal, Wix, or a custom CMS, our Joomla developers handle design recreation, database transfer, and functionality mapping with minimal downtime.

What are key hosting services specific to Joomla websites?

Key hosting services for Joomla websites include Joomla-optimised servers with PHP and MySQL compatibility, one-click Joomla installation, SSL certification, and daily backups. For UK-based businesses, providers like SiteGround UK and Fasthosts offer Joomla-optimised servers with local data centers for faster performance. These hosting services simplify maintenance and improve security, uptime, and website speed.
