Essential Joomla Extensions for Beginners & Pros: My Top Picks as a Pro Web Designer

[@wmartin047]

Mathew you've really gone far with joomla. They used to call me the joomla God back then but lately if i must do a job with a CMS, ill stick with wordpress. I think the Joomla community slept while wordpress overtook. Good luck

Except SPPB and Quix (with both bad experience with a code and horrible support, now using GridBox or Gantry), I use the same extensions. Funny, it was a pretty long way to find them out. Thanks, man.

I just happened to do a search for Joomla dashboards when I came across this video. I want to say thank you for the work you do. Not many Joomla content creators out there. You have a new subscriber and will be checking out your videos including the on on Helix Ultimate.

[@Learnjoomlafast]

Thank you. I really appreciate the sub and kind words.

Always great information. I use SP Page Builder, JCE Editor, and JSitemap Pro. I learned about the SP Page Builder about two years ago from you, thanks! I am going to evaluate the Acymailing, if it's what I need, I will purchase it from your link. Thanks, again for the work that you do.

[@Learnjoomlafast]

Hi Ruth, thanks for your kind words. Glad to hear my videos helped you. If you are interested in learning about Acymailing, you can check out my course here: kzbin.info/aero/PL43bbfiC0wjhmk-Ogt3uN-qBff05r1X_r

I've enjoyed the video. Thanks for the many Joomla videos that you've been consistent in making. SP Pagebuilder and Helix are must for me on sites.

[@Learnjoomlafast]

Filosopha You are welcome. Thanks for watching.

Hi Mathew, Good job for your video! I know we are kind of late, but we would like to thank you for putting our extension on your list. It motivates us to keep working hard! :)

[@Learnjoomlafast]

Thanks. You guys are doing a great job. Keep it up.

hi, all those links are asking me for a login and password. Is there another site i can find these extensions? thanks

[@OYMInternetRadio]

Hi Mathew, well done on your video. I'm looking to develop a time banking system for the local community but I'm not a developer, so what extension would you recommend for keeping track of people's time/credits, work done, feedback, deductions etc. There might be a bit of calculations required, so I'm not sure if there is any extension able to do this?

[@JJcorrosive]

Not for joomla, but I track my time with Clockify.

[@ssukman]

Thank you for the videos. Can you make a recommendation for a plug-in? I have the membership piece, but want to allow content providers and/or members to upload articles to my site and track their contributions in their membership area. 9ideally maybe looking at a rev share affiliate type of program with their contributions) They would need admin approval before publishing. Is there a plug-in for Joomla for this?

[@Learnjoomlafast]

You can set your permissions for admin approval. Stackideas have a blog plugin that lets you do this.

[@fireicen4002]

Very good video. Thank you:)

[@Learnjoomlafast]

Thank you!

[@MichelTorres]

Great video. I use Balbooa Gridbox in my websites. Could you please compare Gridbox with Quix and SP Page Builder?

[@Learnjoomlafast]

Michel Torres Thank you. Gridbox vs Sp Page builder vs Quix will be released soon.

[@rafuael]

do you have a video related prices for customers, how much do i to to retreive for a website creation?

[@Learnjoomlafast]

Great question. I'm working on a pricing video. I get this question often and address it. Thanks for watching.

[@photosbyjf]

I haven't done any web design since joomla 1.9 I think it was...is a pagebuilder what is used to build a template?

[@Learnjoomlafast]

Yes, a page builder allows you to build simple to complex templates by using a drag and drop editor without coding.

[@derekmadge]

@@Learnjoomlafast on a related question, are page builders as good for SEo as, say, Template Creator CK that I currently use?

[@from-the-land-of-noah]

Matthew - Remove the music. it is just as loud as your voice and it makes it hard to hear you.

[@MotivationRope]

This video is nothing more then commercial ads

[@Learnjoomlafast]

We need to support Joomla developers who work so hard to make it easier for us to start and grow our online business with their extensions.
