Hosting and Website Development Service's

What Baratta Design does is offer a complete solution for your website requirements. From hosting to installing Joomla and many of the extensions available for this content management system. Joomla!® is an opensource project and Baratta Design is not selling you this software it is free to download. There are some commercial add-on products for Joomla! but most are also opensource.

We are selling service's related to hosting and website development. Many hours go into research and testing, there are now over 4500 extensions for Joomla! listed in their extension directory.

We do not write code and do not make any extensions here. We do study dozens of components, modules and plugins by installing and testing them.  We normally keep our clients Joomla and extensions as up to date as possible depending on the level of support purchased.

We all grasp technology at different levels of comprehension in time frames unique to each individual. Due to the unknown comprehension level of each individual, teaching and training of various technologies must be tailored to each individual.

Determining your training requirements is a process that takes place over a period of time, depending on the project and extensions being incorporated. If you decide to use the services of Baratta Design (Daryl Baratta) teaching and training will always be on going and not included in installation quotations.

Searching for extension problems and issues is not included in the installation of components, modules, mambots or plugins. However, Baratta Design does read about and install extensions before ever installing them on production or customer sites.

Newsletters for Clients or any group

Newsletter's from Baratta Design, whether for a client or any group will contain links. The links should be considered to be commercial in nature. I use AWeber's service to deliver all my Newsletters.

We use AWeber because it is a professional service that does not allow ANY chance of being accussed of sending spam. All subscribers to the Newsletters I offer must first verify that they did request the contact from a form on one of my websites.

No one is added without first clicking the verification link that is sent out. You can stop the delivery of e-mail anytime by simply clicking on the remove link that is included in ALL e-mails that are sent out.

Some links may or may not be affiliate links, for example, when showing you a new template or extension for Joomla I may use an affiliate link. This means I may or may not receive some kind of credit for recommending a product or service.

In some cases the Newsletter will be used to alert you to possible security risks that have come to light for Joomla or an extension for Joomla. The Newsletter will mainly be used to keep you up-to-date on Joomla and the many new and old extensions you may be interested in.

Template and Theme Club Developer Membership(s)

There may be old articles or statements written at this website and other Baratta Design websites claiming a particular template or theme club developer membership. As of March 2009 until January 2010 Baratta Design does have a Rocketthemes developer license. This gives us the right to legally license a Rocketthemes template for your website project. We do not sell templates or memberships directly to you, only license as part of a project for you.

We do not currently (as of  March 2009) and until further notice hold a Joomlart developer's license. We like and recommend Joomlart and several other template makers. We join clubs as required. Once licensed, your template or theme does not expire. You normally are not able to update or seek support once a year has past, assuming you had your own template club membership.The same year of support and term of membership applies to us and our membership (s). 

Thank you.
