Nichols Insurance Of Lakeland Florida Launches New Website

October 27th, 2009 Mike Leave a comment Go to comments

In today’s world, it’s more effective to have a website that has some automation. I cannot say enough about Joomla, and it’s free! I hooked up Nichols Insurance Group in Lakeland with their own Joomla website.

Joomla does take a bit of tweaking to change the default template (which isn’t very attractive). This is where I come in. I encourage my clients to learn the back-end so they can easily add pages themselves (including pictures) so I set-up the framework, style it and make it search engine friendly (which is very important). The stock versions of Joomla are not friendly for search engines.

Here is just a few of Joomla Features:

  • Your customers can easily create their own accounts, and you can keep any page you want private to the public. For example, if you look at the screen shot above you will see the get estimate widget for an insurance quote. If Nichol’s really wanted to, they could force people to create an account first and make it visible only when someone is logged in.
  • Joomla has widget friendly sidebars so you can easily place Twitter, Facebook and other widgets in seconds just about anywhere on your website.
  • Custom Google Maps have come a long way. Make it easy for your customers. Check out the demonstration here.
  • Don’t spend thousands on a website when you can get this for a few hundred. Joomla can easily be restyled if you want a new look in the future, without compromising your search engine rankings. For more information, you can contact me here.
