SAF launches the new www.aboutflowers.com! PDF Print E-mail
Technology - Website Development
Written by Renato Cruz Sogueco

After a quick two months of intense development, we launched - on time - the new www.aboutflowers.com. Currently, www.aboutflowers.com is one of SAF's two Web sites. The other being www.safnow.org which serves as the official Web site and online resource for SAF's 10,000 member floral retailers, flower growers, importers and suppliers. Aboutflowers.com is geared toward providing online consumers flower information, floral gift-giving ideas and decorating tips.

If you followed the Web site development on this blog -- type in keyword search "joomla web site dev," you already know we used the Joomla content management system (CMS). The Joomla CMS allows staff to easily post updates to the site and add functionality down the line such as a blog, discussion board, etc. But the true advantage of the Joomla CMS is the ability to easily optimize Web sites for search engines.

Joomla has a great back-end feature called Search Engine Friendly URLs. You'll see as you browse through Web site sections how the URLs are not numbers or characters as you may find on many sites, but a nice long string of keywords that describe the section you are visiting. Please check out the site and more importantly, let me know ASAP if you find something "not right." Although we had a thorough beta test period, there is always something that needs adjusting with any new launch. Thanks ahead for your feedback!

Also, we have a couple new Web presences under development that we aim to launch in the next two weeks -- both with much more Web 2.0 built on the Joomla platform. Stay tuned.

Joomla CMS rocks, simply because it allows comments a lot more easily. As far as other CMS I like, I'd go with PHP for sure, and PHPBB.

The light purple with white Christian Louboutin shoes are very classical and elegant, the soft and noble color, snake pattern with the landmark red sole of Christian Louboutin shoes, the thick front sole, which bring you not only elegance, sexy but comfortable.

For those who are just going out for an hour or so a day for leisurely exercise, you are likely to be able to get away with just ordinary clothing, ones that look to keep you comfortable and warm.
