Does your website achieve commercial success?

Does your website show commercial success? Millions of new websites are created every day around the globe. Unfortunately only a very small fraction of them achieve expected recognition and enjoyed commercial success.

Countless of individuals and companies spent a lot of money in building visually appealing websites and got stuck in the fact that no one bought products offered in the website. Worse, no one even paid a visit to the website. Some paid SEO specialists a fortune to bring their website to the top board of major search engines. Most failed to achieve the promised rankings. But even those few who achieved decent rankings were getting nothing more than a flood of visitor who did not bother themselves to make a purchase.

If the above abstract sounds familiar to you then you have just found the right place to get a solution.

Component - Joomla! Extension Directory Components

A Component is the largest and most complex of the Extension types. Components are like mini-applications that render the main body of the page. An analogy that might make the relationship easier to understand would be that Joomla! is a book and all the Components are chapters in the book. The core Article Component (com_content), for example, is the mini-application that handles all core Article rendering just as the core registration Component (com_user) is the mini-application that handles User registration.

Many of Joomla!'s core features are provided by the use of default Components such as:

  • Contacts
  • Front Page
  • News Feeds
  • Banners
  • Mass Mail
  • Polls

A Component will manage data, set displays, provide functions, and in general can perform any operation that does not fall under the general functions of the core code.

Components work hand in hand with Modules and Plugins to provide a rich variety of content display and functionality aside from the standard Article and content display. They make it possible to completely transform Joomla! and greatly expand its capabilities.
