Service variations
Upgrade Joomla! website
For those, who use Joomla! CMS we offer a full package service to get your current website to the most up-to-date state with a new, freshly looking design.
Apart from functional and design parts, we offer responsiveness, SEO and security check. This service allow you to make sure that your website has the latest software used, has a better new design, responsive on any device, secure and has basic SEO correctly configured.
Re-design website
We have a great designer in our team and suggest everyone to get a new design done at least every 8 months. Depends on website traffic and how often visitors come back to it.
Design is not only the means of visual identity, but a usability tool too. Working on the website's separate forms and pages on the website to improve a sales or a service process helps to simplify them and increase a conversion as a result.
Migrate to Joomla! CMS
If you are using a custom-built solution or other CMS, we can help migrate to Joomla! It is a reliable, well-coded system with many functional extensions that cover the needs for any website. Joomla has a great architecture and is much more productive for a large size projects.
Migration includes fining respective extensions to match the existing functionality or writing custom extensions, content migration with users and files, design migration, basic SEO with old links redirect and security configuration.

Development process
Discuss the scope
It is important to make sure all details are discussed before a project starts. There is no limit to anything in terms of design or functionality. Leave it to us to use our experience and creativity to find the best viable options for your needs.
Get a quote
After the scope was discussed and fixed, we go through possible known solutions and custom options to develop exactly what is requested.
Pay and provide the access
After the invoice is paid (full or 50%, depending on a budget) we need the access to the live account to copy the environment and start the development process.
Development and testing
These 2 processes always go concurrently after the key functions or design changes were implemented. The more changes the project includes, the longer and more thorough the testing will be.
Presenting a beta
After all changes are made and tested, we upload a copy of the clients' environment onto our server for a demo. It is a safe sandbox to test a customization and see how it will look and work on live.
Approval and going live
When a client reviews the scope and make sure all is up to specification discussed, we sync all the changes to a live account and make sure all work the same as on our sandbox server.
Before you start
Clarify the scope, time frame and technologies used on this project. By default, we can choose any solution or option if it was not clearly specified before a project starts.
Provide full (cPanel, FTP, Super Admin) access to live/staging hosting account where eventually results must be installed and tested. If 3rd party service is involved, we need either developer or live access beforehand.
Pay 50% advance if a project costs more than $1000 USD or full sum, if less. This is our standard approach to all projects, which proved its efficiency and shows seriousness of client's intetions.
Client reviews

If you can dream it, Fastw3b will design it. It is almost a year since I started working with Fastw3b. In fact, having started on the Joomla journey (three months prior) and with no development experience, Fastw3b was the perfect first date.
After the initial – dancing around – trying to understand each other, we quickly established a relationship based on frankness and directness and this was probably the single most important trait that I respect them for. It would have been easier to repeat the “customer is king” mantra and get paid for the job. Not with Fastw3b. It seemed as if they genuinely were as interested and excited about the project as I was. It was as if I was working with my own inhouse team, rather than distant consultants.
If you are new to Joomla or indeed to development and are looking for a professional yet empathetic partner, I highly recommend Fastw3b. They deliver on time, are willing to own-up to errors and fix them, and best of all are as invested in your project as you.

The criteria for any successful project is for it to be on time, within budget and meets business and customer requirements. In order to achieve this you need a highly skilled team who are knowledgeable efficient in what they do and prepared to go the extra mile to ensure that the required work is completed to the highest quality. It is for this reason that I partner with Fastw3b as I can rely on them to always deliver a successful project.
The strongest skill of Fastw3b is their ability to develop and deliver innovative technical solutions whilst always ensuring a high level of customer service.
I believe it is the willingness of Fastw3b to collaborate with a client during the project initiation phase by providing suggestions and advice on how to best solve a problem to ensure that a quality product and service is delivered.

Couple of years ago when I wanted to redesign my art website I was looking for an easy to navigate and attractive picture gallery component with Lightbox effect and have found Fastw3b Gallery. With some customization of the FW Gallery extension I was able to showcase my extensive art and photography collection with specific information I needed in a clean, contemporary style. This is a well organized, expandable structure with many features.
I could count on expert advise regarding website development, customization or upgrade questions, reliable communication and delivering work by schedule.
